How else can you decide that perfectly "technical" item affecting "the future direction of openSUSE's distribution" ? These _are_ the pro's & cons that need to be pointed out in order to justify either keeping it or dropping it. Frankly Graham's points are perfectly valid as far as they go. So if there are counter points, of course they must be illustrated in order to decide correctly which way to go.
Andy's insertion here is perfectly valid, and I thank him and the rest of the openSUSE Board for stepping in to provide the needed guidance and wake-up call on what this list and topic is all about. Yes, I agree with you that Graham's original post was a valid opening discussion on a technical matter, but Graham himself unfortunately turned this into a personal insult against several people which resulted in a heated exchange throughout this thread. I think we all thank Graham for apologizing at one point for crossing the line and distracting us from the original intent of this discussion. But, as is human nature, once a flame gets lobbed, it gets pretty hard to stop the mess because emotions due run raw. If Andy or any other board member cannot jump in and say "Hey, cool it guys!" where can they? I think Andy did the right move. And I hope to see this mailing list move in a more positive direction soon, as currently, the Factory mailing list isn't always a fun place to read. In the words of the illustrious Rodney King... "Can we all just get along?" Now back to the main topic of this thread...
