Isn't this a workaround for the FPC decision? It kinda means thousands of users are going to have problems upgrading to F23, and have to click a little button to enable a 3rd party copr (which can do pretty much anything to your system...) which will mean very little to most people.
It is, and this why I disagree with the rest of FESCo on this.
Can't someone just tell the FPC they got it wrong in this case? FPC is not a useful thing if we're promoting workarounds for our default product.
FESCo could have overruled the FPC, but they chose not to [1].
Cheers, Debarshi
[1] Since I was the only one in FESCo opposing this decision, I chose to use "they" to refer to the committee, instead of "we".
This is accurate and perfectly acceptable.
In light of some further discussion today, I'd probably change my vote to support an override but it still would not come to quorum.
