Er...isn't it rather the other way round? I don't think that it's a
good idea to work on the basis that everything exists until stated
otherwise by FESCo. ;)

I didn't say that so please don't put words in my mouth [And yes I am very very cranky so this will be my last email on this list for a while.]

My statement was based on the following:
Richard wrote " There's no such thing as a "Fedora application"." which I could not find any statement to back up. The only organizations I could see which could authoritatively state there are no such thing as a Fedora application would be

a) Fedora Legal via something Red Hat legal had determined that nothing could be called a Fedora application because of XYZ legal interpretation.
b) The Fedora Board if it had been brought up to them that the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee had asked for,
or
c) The Fedora Engineering Steering Committee had said because it had been brought up to them that the definition of what was an application was causing problems somewhere.

Those are the only organizations which I could see can define that there are " no Fedora applications". Anyone else is speaking of their own opinion.
