But I digress...] 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 :) > > Please do consider more discussions on issues such as the yumconf > approach on this list. yes, we know that we should have made a bit of noise about this yumconf issue before it went out into the wild.
