vitualization, separate stream of packages, multiple versions of the

can't take a stable base and add in more recent bits for your area of

Jon, you seem hard set on your ways. You, rudely, snipped a well
articulated e-mail down to what you want to pick a fight about. Why are
we even continuing this discussion?
Fedora will be made by the people that make it. I happily contribute as
a QA person and now as a package maintainer. You should be happy that
more and more people are getting on board for open source development
instead of telling everyone to wait their turn. Yes, there is a
compromise between Kevin Kofler and Jon Masters. It's called Fedora. Let
Fedora 14 ride and watch the new policies unfurl (as many others have
already stated).
