But the way to go about a change isn't to start the change and see what happens. The proper way is to look at the alternatives at hand and what the implications of the respective solutions are. That means a wee bit more analysis than linking to a marketing post by one of the providers of solutions. I understand that you like discourse, you have made that clear. _______________________________________________ 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
