Until that happens (and if the Server WG cares about this maybe that
should be formally proposed to the Cloud WG?) - it probably does not
make sense to expect that Cloud development be held back by anything
the Server WG might want to do.
Indeed, I see it differently. If I seriously want to discuss cooperation and product
alignment with another group, then I refrain from making any major changes beforehand,
unless an emergency arises. This applies all the more to matters that are known to be
controversial and that increase existing differences.

Do you have a reference for that? Would love to follow that discussion

Just as an info about our recent cloud coop discussion Fedora Cloud had had a meeting
yesterday ....
17:56:07 <pboyHB> And we can feel honored: As Dusty put it: „the server WG has
approached us again about possible collaboration/merging. There seems to be more interest
this time.“

7:45:52 <michel_slm> "so... last week it's apparent the Cloud WG knows we
want to reach out. should we start engaging more formally? e.g. start a thread in our
mailing lists?“ :-)
and the follow up.

Such a high level conversation would be nice, but again, until that
happens (on devel/server/cloud mailing lists), and there's a consensus
about how Server and Cloud would work together going forward, how is a
Change Proposal targeted at Cloud usage after months of conversation an
"overnight coup d'état"?
very nicely put. According to Matthew and others cloud wg did virtually not exist for more
than a year, no meetings, silence on mailing list beyond bi-weekly announcement of a
„standing“ meeting nobody attended to, there was discussion to „kill“ it, great reluctance
on the side of Dusty in our meeting March 3 to make any changes on the artefacts at all,
new start of 2-weekly meetings March 30, „months of conversation“ which spell down to 4
meetings in 2 months, and then such a very fundamental change. Well, the wording may be a
bit offhand, but by no means farfetched.
And lest there be any misconception, Cloud WG may decide what or about what they deem
useful. That is not my business. But regarding the planned discussion about cooperation
and alignment of server and Cloud WG and artifacts, I am "not amused" and
can't really take it seriously anymore. There are more serious and urgent tasks
waiting for us.
