We will not be removing functionality in order to accomodate YOUR needs.
I personally don't use 70% of the drivers supplied in the kernel, or
maybe 40% of the packages in FC, but I realize other people do use and
appreciate it being there.
That being said, Open Source gives you the freedom to customize and
optimize the software to your desires, and nobody can stop you. In most
cases however, it would be off-topic for this list.
To put it another way.. if you are wanting to work on an IPV6-free
kernel RPM for long term inclusion in the fedora project this may be the
list for you. If you are wanting to know how to compile a kernel on your
system for yourself.. there are lists that are more in-line for that
question. If you are wanting to complain about how the internet would
have been better if we had just stayed with IPv1.. fedora-loons is
probably the list for you.
other posts and entire threads on fedora-devel-list lower the signal
to
noise ratio, and as a result high level developers have decided to avoid
reading this list entirely. That is a loss to overall communication and
transparency.
I definately /dev/null most of the crap erm mail on here. I got off
fedora-list for that reason.
