There are lots of things we can't completely prevent, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have rules against them. JB> Having it in the guidelines seems to give a false sense of security. I don't understand how a guideline would ever give any "sense of security". What would you expect a guideline to secure against? They say what you are and aren't supposed to do, and not much more. It's not much different than a code of conduct. If there's anything that's "impossible to enforce and unrealistic", it's that. But we certainly shouldn't get rid of a "be nice to each other" rule just because such a rule would give someone a false sense of security that they can post to a mailing list without getting nasty emails (as recent threads on the subject of specfile cleanups have shown). And certainly we can work to enforce this particular rule. It's not hard to watch for commits which delete, say, the mass rebuild changelog entries or reintroduce one of these recently removed tags and then alert someone when necessary. That work is already in progress. It's would technically be even easier to do that check in a git hook and simply refuse to accept the push, if we really wanted to go that far. - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/3OZTVHFLUN6R5QJXPM765ZTN6ZJ2XSIJ/
