"This change needs to motivate other important stuff that we don't
have
direct control over to change" seems like *exactly* the reason we
ask for
system-wide changes to be filed earlier.
This is like the 4th system wide change this release which is coming
in as a Self-Contained. Each time the developer thinks it is
self-contained because it is just one little thing, but on regards it
turns into being a system-wide change. However because the two
deadlines are one after the other, it means that this change is pushed
out another 6 months where the 3-4 weeks between System-Wide and
Self-Contained doesn't seem very long. Can we either:
1) Move System-Wide and Self-Contained proposal deadlines to be the
same date and allow FESCO/etc determine if the proposal needs to be
moved to SW or SC then?
This split between SW and SC was artificial since the beginning and I'd
be happy if we dropped it.
If we keep this division, I am for one deadline for both.
Vít
2) Move Self-Contained deadline BEFORE System-Wide so that if it is
really System-Wide move it to the correct category?
3) Add a re-evaluate deadline after the first two? This allows us to
get an idea that "oh wait this is going to really mess things up and
we need to push this out one release?" or other items
At the moment, I think pushing out removal of yum3 for Fedora31
doesn't make sense if there isn't enough python2 for it to be useful
in Fedora30. However I also think this is a system-wide change because
a lot of tools need time to test that they REALLY do support not
having yum3 in them.
