you know, I actually appreciate people who make noises when we do stuff 
that they do and dont agree with. Isnt that what open source is all 
about ? The ability to bring in lots of eyes on simple issues ? We all 
gain, all around.

so please dont stop and/or hold back. Flame wars only happen when one 
side refuses to accept the others point of view. I think everyone is 
entitled to an opinion, and besides a flamefest every now and then is 
also a good thing :)

yes, we know that we should have made a bit of noise about this yumconf 
issue before it went out into the wild. I think we've all learn't a 
lesson here.
