Jonathan,
your point 3 is not going to work. As I outlined in that email, so many component
literally broke FreeIPA in Fedora 28 development timeline, that keeping Fedora 27's
4.6.x series was not possible.
I'm sorry for not putting out the message to more generic lists. I assumed wrongly
that people interested in FreeIPA deployments would be on freeipa-users@ mailing list
already.
I spent last four months trying to communicate the dire state FreeIPA will be in the
Fedora 28 release to Fedora people. I failed, perhaps my style of "everything is on
fire" was less than convincing.
