Oh but that was NEVER the idea behind fedora.us. The idea was to create a
repository run by community of packagers, not a community of repositories
run by individuals.
Of course it was, at least by the people that were finaly driven away ...
Why do you need 1000 different repositories if you can stick the
packages into one?
Others have given good explanations to why we need that.
I find it kinda funny that people who refuse to co-operate within
policies
and specifications created by the fedora.us community complain about
fedora.us not co-operating with them :-/
Well, you should know that current fedora.us specs were also shaped by
the same people. Unfortunately vital components like interrepository
interaction were left out, and discussing these issues in March/April
wore all parties off, until many gave up on fedora.us.
The same question can be set the other way around: Why did fedora.us
had to reinvent the wheel once again?
