I do think it is still worth it. I suspect that in some places we are
just talking past one another. It's possible that we would be able to
get a majority vote in FESCo, but I would much prefer if we could get
to *consensus* instead. I'm trying to incorporate suggestions, but
some of them (like requiring ELN to be a completely separate branch of
dist-git) interferes with our intended goals. And (though I haven't
been able to communicate this well, I fear) we really do intend for
conditionals to be uncommon (and ELN-specific conditionals limited to
places where it is absolutely necessary). I think using the
"pre-generated documentation" example was probably a bad one, because
that's a case that implies a much wider scope than intended. Or at the
least, I should have described it better from the beginning. What I
think is most likely is that we'd look into adding %{bcond_with docs}
in more places in Fedora (and default to that being false in ELN).
Then, later in the RHEL process we could introduce such pre-generated
docs as a downstream-only change after we break inheritance from
Fedora.
If we went that route (not just for docs, but as a model for
conditionals in general), would that address some of your
reservations?

There will be, but I really am trying to identify the problems and
find common ground. As I said above, I think I'm probably
misunderstanding what you're advocating for rather than ignoring it.

Email is hard. I understand.

I appreciate that.

I'll see if I can find some time ahead of the FESCo meeting to talk
with you tomorrow. I think it's definitely worth talking it over.
