I think part of the problem is that I don't think the proposal has
enough flesh on its bones for people not to see it causing all kinds
of problems somewhere. Or vice versa seeing not enough to see it being
worthwhile for a beginner. [For many a developer, PR's aren't that
interesting to most developers and not what they think about when
looking at packaging. Running fedpkg and making a spec file work on my
system and through the complicated koji+bodhi+mbs+.. stack is real
packaging.] So we need a real proposal with an end to end idea of what
is being done, what is to be learned, and how it is to be 'watched' by
real developers to make sure people are learning things.

time to shutdown -h now.
