I agree. I think the issue is that stack exchange is seen as yet another github with all the closed source community outrage surrounding it. I have no emotional energy to deal with that poop-storm. On a side note, for clarity of people reading this later on. Neither bugzilla or fedora forums are 'owned' by Fedora in any form. I say this just as a clarification that people ask us in Infrastructure to fix them and we can't. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
