You've seen Alan's list by now.

But what part of "we are tracking upstream" and "submit it upstream"
is hard to understand?  Fedora Core is not a place to put software
that YOU DO NOT THINK IS READY FOR UPSTREAM.  Period.

Really, if you think that it's not good enough for upstream but
is good enough for the FC kernel, what does that say about your
opinion of the FC kernel?  Pretty poor.

I've got a lot of goals.  And, if your memory isn't horribly short,
you may remember me jumping in on a random piece of code outside
my area of expertise to help enable blind use, for which you thanked
me at the time.  You may not remember that I was the one who got the
original blinux-list set up.  I'm not some anti-disabled bigot here,
and I'd appreciate it if you'd lay off the rhetoric.  (If you don't,
I can find a place in my .procmailrc for you, frankly.)

It is my responsibility to balance many competing demands.  The
rules I have come up with to balance those demands are the result
of experience, and the upstream rule is one such rule.
