If the consensus from the Fedora community is that RHEL should shift
development elsewhere, the Fedora Council can always reach out to me
and I can start that internal conversation. I do not believe for a
second that's actually the consensus though. Fedora and RHEL are
symbiotic in so many ways that it is naive to believe Fedora is
somehow self-contained and RHEL gets no value from it or has no impact
on it.
That's not what I'm getting at at all. Please allow me to clarify, that seems
to have come off in a different way than I intended. When making decisions for
Fedora, whatever is in favor of Fedora should take priority. If something is
*also* beneficial to RHEL, that's excellent. But if Fedora would be made worse
by a given change, or the lives of Fedora developers made more difficult for
benefit only to RHEL, it clearly makes no sense to have that in Fedora. If
Fedora is neither positively nor negatively effected, and it can make things
easier over in RHEL land, that's also great!
