Can someone tell me what the point of the openSUSE community is then?
As a community we come together to work on the distribution, tools, etc. Discussing is not work.
It is a precursor - if we don't discuss and agree on an approach, we have anarchy.
But how can you claim there is no discussion? Frederic brought it up to start one, and that is exactly what is happening. The whole whining about "but we don't discuss things" is bull****
Jos,
his initial e-mail read like "this will be done for 12.1"
perhaps it was incorrectly worded, but it read to me like "these are the facts". There was no invitation for discusion.
Exactly.
He could've done better. But he presented the plan the maintainers had, if it wasn't open for discussion, why present it? This is how it works everywhere in FOSS so don't get upset about that. Yes, he could've added a "thoughts anyone?" at the bottom but the lack of that doesn't warrant this huge bikeshedding discussion, nor the offensive responses to the plan by some.
