Also during FOSDEM this year (wrt. additional packages) you clearly articulated that the CentOS project was going to return to its core business, and do that well. How does that match with a CentOS Extras repository ?
You are twisting things a bit here. I dont think CentOS ever left its core business of the main distro. Things would have been a bit different had CentOS given up at anytime in the past. So the idea of returning to things is flawed.
I obviously meant returning to 'only its core business', but obviously you know this as you said that at FOSDEM :-)
From the CentOS Developers perspective its going to be a case of focusing on whats core to the project and the userbase. If users want to step up and create a self-supported mechanism I dont see why we need to say no or to step away.
Sounds fabulous.
CentOS is in a fantastic place to try and unify some of these user experience issues that people run into so often and I would really like to see that change. But rather than just talk about stuff as we have been doing in the past, it worth actually doing things.
Great !
