Everyone would agree with that, but they're Redhat's repos, if they want the
jerk them around unannounced that's up to them. There's some tension in
Fedora between what's fully under Redhat and what is "community"...
interesting to see how it plays out. For example some RH people were blowing
gaskets at the ml volume a couple of weeks ago, now there seems to be less RH
intervention here, but the ml is ticking along with community input --
obviously less definitive but maybe a sign of both sides adjusting to what
the other can bring.
Centralized distribution bandwidth is a major thing Redhat give us all for
free. It'd be great if there was a Bittorrent-style model for the community
reducing that burden on them too, that would ensure 100% availability and no
"single point of failure" like the up2date thing.
