The current discussion about fedora-usermgr is an example of most probably a bad choice in Fedora which stalls EPEL. What will the general consensus be in this and further conflicting situations? Bringing this upstream, e.g. to Fedora main, is a noble thing, but waiting for such things to resolve in Fedora-land takes a long time, and in Fedora many people are more willing to compromise on stuff they consider sub-optimal than in RHEL. So will we be able to decide on anything deviating from Fedora or will everything that comes up in RHEL land need to go through the Fedora machinery? Of course, the highest commandment remains to be compatible to Fedora, but only as much as is really possible, and not blindly inherit everything that's being semi-tolerated in Fedora. If we can stand on our own feet, then we should start by voting on whether we want fedora-usermgmt to be part of RHEL or not. We can then move on to other important things as EPEL sig, and hope that the issue will be ironed out on Fedora someday. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
