What is your definition of hacker? Is he contributing to X.org
upstream development or is he just pulling patchsets to be applied to
distribution specific packages?
Just as interesting..... he's spent most of his time between UDS and
that post trying to address nvidia regressions....
"Fwiw, I pretty much ended up spending 100% of my time between release
and UDS on SRU bugs (mainly for -nvidia)"
Yippie for prioritizing regressions in proprietary code!
Nope, Bryce doesn't get to work on upstream in any significant way as
part of his Ubuntu work. I was chatting with Dave about this on IRC the
other day. The most significant submission to upstream X.org that's ever
come out of Ubuntu is a quirk table. (yippee.)
As others have said, this post doesn't really teach Fedora any lessons.
It could more accurately have been titled 'Why Having Exactly One X
Developer Is A Really Bad Idea For A Major Distribution'.
