engineering explanation for why the RFE was declined.
If the Fedora branch structure precludes compatibility with other
distros, should CentOS users avoid use of Rawhide packages when
seeking newer upstream packages, and instead migrate to another
repository? Doesn't this discourage greater testing of Rawhide?
Only those who use a "pure" Rawhide distro will have any incentive
to use its packages.
All valid and important points.
Old Russian saying:
Don't blame a dog for its master.
Barking at Joe Orton for refusing an RFE and somehow trolling/spinning
that into "Fedora is sucidal!" and "RPM sux!" is a waste of time and
energy.
And I agree that "RPM sux!" fwiw ...
