Change owner(s): Jóhann B. Guðmundsson <johannbg AT gmail DOT com>
Fix dependency on crontab in packages containing cron jobs as well as migrate
cron jobs that are applicable to native systemd timer units.
This change (as proposed here) is discontinued as Jóhann announced his
intention to leave the project. The same applies for Sys V to systemd
unit migration feature that spawns through several releases. Thanks
for you work on it!
Both changes are free to pick up.
Apparently he forgot to mention the retraction of the sys V to systemd
proposal in this mail as well as qoute my reason I guess somethings are
two hard

Greeting Jaroslav
With regrets I must say I feel we have grown so fat we are about to
collapse under our own weight but instead of properly start dealing with
that within the project, people chose to ignore that fact but instead
chose to force some future vision of RHEL 8 upon the project under the
names of .next, products and wg's and constantly attack the solid ground
what our foundations have stood for and their meaning all those years
and embark on multiproduct releases based on wrong fundamental
assumption, without statistical backing up of what they considered being
the underlying cause for some of their assumptions and without
thoroughly thinking things through what needs to be done before being
able to do that as well as the fact we lack the necessary community
infrastructure and workflows being in place to remotely being able to
achieve delivering multiple products in a useful and efficient manner
based on the resources we have in the project.
And as WG's slowy turn into tiny little empires fighting amongst
themselves for components directions and maintenance while the owners of
those components are scratching their head still trying to figure how
the .next,product and wg proposal affects them, their maintenance and
where they general fit into that future vision or simply are ignoring it
which inevitably will result in them suddenly finding themselves being
slapped by reality and waking up from their slumber when it finally does
hit them.
Unfortunately I'm not seeing much future or vision in Fedora and it's
direction anymore and the fact is that I'm failing to convey what needs
to be fixed in any useful and meaningful way and manner, with the end
result being that I'm not being heard and at the same time being
powerless in fixing things that need fixing within the community. makes
me part of the problem not the solution for the project and those that
still believe in it and the direction it is taking.
Thus I here by official request the withdrawal of both of my features,
sys V to systemd migration as well cron to timer migration where
applicable due to how those processes have been handled by FPC and FESCo
and their members and their expectation as well as the fact that
envision of Fedora all those what 8+ years is proving to be the
boulevard of broken dreams of what I hoped we could accomplish and
achieve together as an community under the naive and false assumption
that Fedora was a community sponsored project not community corporate
owned one.
My withdrawal should allow for those willing to continue with systemd
migration and integration within the project submit *new proposal* to
the feature process tailored to the expected and wanting of FESCo and
FPC and continue the work that I'm leaving behind which is roughly above
1000 man hours by my estimations to properly integrate these things into
the distribution.
Best regards
Jóhann B."
Good luck with either Matt or Stephen as your new project leaders
