So, if you all don't mind, I'd like to steer this discussion in a
slightly different way:
What /is/ the definition of a Fedora Change Proposal?
I was under the impression it was an announcement of intent by the
maintainers of a specific subset of the fedora project to "change"
something. Once said announcement has been discussed publicly, Fesco
(Sorry if the capitals are incorrect) discusses it internally (albeit,
publicly) and either blocks or approves the change, making it official.
/(Please note: The following paragraphs will use "we" as a pronoun which
is intended to be the Fedora project as a whole)/

Once approved, we announced our intent to drop X11 from the KDE spin of
Fedora. That announcement has gained traction everywhere, got publicized
and everything. As Neal Gompa also stated, it has already caused some
substantial development effort upstream to effectively iron out the
rough edges of many of the problems, with what I assume is more to come.
I would not read it quite like that. I would say that by approving the
Change, "we" - in the sense of "Fedora as a whole" - approved of the KDE
SIG's decision to stop maintaining Plasma X11. I can't speak for FESCo,
but if I had been on FESCo, I don't think I would've had in my mind
"approving this Change creates a ban on anybody at all maintaining
Plasma X11 packages in Fedora" when voting on it.
