Hello folks,

I do not want to point any fingers, so I'll be adressing this to all proven
packagers...

Stop messing with other people packages without trying to contact them via
e-mail/IRC, or openind new BZ!
Especially when you see they are actively maintaining the package and your
changes are not critical for Fedora to function/boot.
THIS IS NOT OKAY, AND YOU ARE ABUSING THE RIGHTS YOU WERE GIVEN!

Fedora proven packagers policy (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Provenpackager_policy) explicitly says:
"Provenpackagers should try to communicate with owners of a package in
bugzilla, irc or email prior to making changes. They should be careful not
to change other people's packages needlessly and try to do the minimal
changes required to fix problems, ..."

Last note to proven packagers: You're not BDFLs - so start acting according
to it. Thank you!
