I think you and I fundamentally disagree on this and that's OK. I'm not trying to convince you. I was trying to understand your stance on why you'd potentially leave and express the reasons why I think it's worth it. We'll have to end our conversation here, because we've both stated clearly where we stand and I respect that you and I are simply not aligned. Thank you for your thoughts. josh _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
