Sure it was, there were 2 models before the merge, and one resulting model,
which happens to be close to the better one (the Extras one). The Core model
wasn't lost entirely, its good points persisted, e.g. there's an updates-
testing which is actively used, whereas Extras just pushed everything
directly. But as to when to provide new versions, the Extras model is
basically what we ended up with, and to me that's just further evidence that
it was the right one.
Think of what Jesse and I are describing like this:
When you're working a lot and involved in a great deal of activity you
will often make a big mess. At some point you have to step back and tidy
up the mess you made and tie up loose ends.
Except I don't see how what we're doing now is a mess.
Fedora's been active and growing and we've made a lot of
messes, this is
just about managing our growth and tidying up our messes.
Again, I fail to see that mess. To me we're actually doing a great job!
We've made a mess and as a member of fesco I'd expect you to
be helping in
cleaning up the mess, not making it worse b/c fesco HAS to be about the
long term growth and sustainability of fedora.
Sorry, but I don't see how the current situation would not be sustainable or
would impede growth in the long term, it has worked perfectly fine for
years. On the contrary, I think losing one of our biggest points of
distinction from other distributions would be a serious impediment to long
term growth and sustainability of Fedora.
