OTOH, I cannot see a good reason to *actively* *eliminate* the Group line either, other than throwing away good work of good people.
A thousand years ago, people incited the crusades, just because there were other people, that doesn't fit their expectations.
Folks, don't incite a crusade against Group lines, please. They will not hurt you.
This week, my fear became reality. It started with spec-cleaner removing Group lines incidentally, and now Richards butchery.
@Dominique: is there any way to repel this landslide from hitting factory?
This is going to be nasty - Even if the review team now were to block all such submissions: maintainers that decided to accept this change in their devel project would have to actively and manually revert the change again. In other cases, when the request would be declined now, all we gain is that it will still be part of a future update on the packages. I'm afraid this all might bring Tumbleweed to a stand-still for a couple days. It is close to impossible for me to get a staging project setup that works AND does not have any of this group-war intermingled. @Richard: would you be willing to at least revoke all the pending SRs until this is settled for good? This could at least minimize the impact on maintainers that do not follow this list and that accept the change in good faith. Cheers, Dominique
