Once upon a time, Aleksandra Fedorova alpha@bookwar.info said:
Similarly to what Josh said, we want to setup an environment for experiments. It doesn't mean that things we experiment on are going to be merged in Fedora. And it definitely doesn't mean that whatever we did in the experimental environment can bypass the approval process.
It is not a backdoor for rejected change, it is a way to safely iterate on the rejected change to see if we can come up with a version of it, which won't be rejected.
So... I guess my objections are all based on the proposal as written, which doesn't sound to me like what you are describing. What the proposal says is all about rebuilding Fedora with the rejected baseline change, and showing that it is better to get the community to accept the original change. It also uses the term "older machines" (which is still misleading).
