Ok. <sarcasm> So what is the next step? Offering another kernel? Or allowing us to choose a different package manager or packing format? Oh, wait, using multiple different depsolvers has already been frowned upon. Now why did *that* happen? It is Fedora, isn't it? </sarcasm> > Go-oo is entirely irrelevant to Fedora. No, it is not.

No need to explain any nuances. I see. So how will you empower users to make an informed decision to choose LO over AOO or the other way around? And it will be the "default" until someone gets the bright idea of creating an AOO spin, and that idea has already started floating around.
