I would put it this way: this change _helps recognize_ that Fedora is more than its main product. This isn't new; EPEL has been part of Fedora since the beginning, and CoreOS has been since it replaced Project Atomic. However, I completely disagree on the impact of this in terms of resources and impact on users. Making Fedora bigger and able to address more needs isn't a zero-sum game. It brings in more resources that ultimately benefit everything, absolutely including the primary distribution. This isn't opinion, either — I absolutely know it to be true. So, while I register that you diagree, I think the underlying facts actually are that this point strongly _supports_ what I'm going for here. -- 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 Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
