The point is that this system only works if all (major) players
cooperate. Once one decides to not play nice anymore this system is
broken and starts damaging the ones that support it. At the end you
will be the last remaining martyr. :/
My (potential) packages will be easily identifiable with just an rpm -q.
How is that bad? (for Planet CCRMA). Why is it best to hide if others
hide?
That's why I went through endless lengths to have epel carry
repotags,
so we could live all together in the same ecosphere.
Yeah. Predictable result. I think it also took a long time for the
RedHat/Fedora/Extras distros to realize it is good practice to add a
_distro_ tag to all packages...
