I wouldn't suggest holding breath, exactly, but let's entertain the idea. (I mean, at the very least, hey, it's open source, and we could import branches from CentOS dist-git if we found a benefit from it....) If we did this in Fedora dist-git, how would people feel about having a RHEL/CentOS branch which is effectively owned by the company? Since the Core/Extras merge, we've striven to avoid cases where Red Hat has special access. This wouldn't introduce any regression in that to Fedora-OS branches themselves, but there would be some "company-specialness" which we've kept away from. Is that okay? I guess theoretically with arbitrary branching, we could allow special branches like this for *any* purpose, like other remixes or variants as approved by the community (assuming open source and legally possible) -- it wouldn't have to be Red Hat _especially_ special. RH branches would just be a case of that. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
