Hello Boyd,
 this is quite cool, I am glad to see movement here.

 I would like to take the occasion to point out: when this is somewhat
complete, I would like to hear from you directly, and we can assess with
 engineering if this can/should be be used for OpenSUSE, and possibly SLE.

 But I would like to have this discussion when *you* feel that this is
technically mature for it, not before.

 I also do not want to hear assumptions/rumors/grumblings _in_ or
_against_ this direction until we have this discussion. We have an
agreed on plan between PM and Engineering, and that is the official
roadmap.

 Currently we have an agreement to look at PackageKit, and since the
independent engineering review I privately asked for a few weeks ago
came back negative, this work is welcome news in order to see how well
integration w/h packagekit would actually work in practice.

 *But*, I do not want to foster corridor rumors, or have a left-field
commentary from some that we are changing our plans. Currently, our plan
is the 10.3 stack. When it changes, if it does, I will sign that change.
End of the story.

 No speculation, I hate gossip. And on this subject, gossip tends to be
inflammatory to boot. Yay.


 Best - F
