I CC'd him (and tkorbar) on the first mail in this thread, and I only started this thread after emailing them directly to discuss it (I probably should have mentioned that I'd already run it by them). Nikola suggested in that private discussion that retiring mailx was probably the way to go, so I started this thread. > If you file a Change, I think all that will happen is that a lot more > bureaucracy will happen before somebody says "hey, we'd better ask > nforro about this" anyway. :D I think he's already on board with the change, and I think everybody would be happier to Just Do It without a change proposal. I just wanted to start a discussion and make sure the right process was followed. It sounds like I'm not the only person to waste time scratching my head at the heirloom-mailx fossil, and so we should just retire it! -- _______________________________________________ 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
