Can non-Fedora-specific arguments be made against this practice *that are sufficiently compelling to justify the potential for long-term maintenance of patches*? I say, "non-Fedora-specific" because this is a lot more compelling if the project can say, unequivocally, that Fedora is taking a stand against a generally harmful practice. If, however, the reasons driving this are mostly Fedora-specific, it's a harder sell. Broadly speaking, a distribution like Fedora should be doing its best to adapt to what upstream developers deliver. -- Braden McDaniel <braden(a)endoframe.com&gt;
