This release was all that was discussed.  If new proposals for future
releases come to bear, this topic can be revisited.  For now, a note
will be placed in the Release Notes for F7 about packages potentially
containing .fcX where X can be different from the current release.

Here is the voting record:

Jesse Keating: -1
Dennis Gilmore: -1
Josh Boyer: -1
Christian Iseli: -1
Bill Nottingham: -1
Brian Pepple: -1
Kevin Fenzi: -1
Jeremy Katz: -1
Jason Tibbitts: -1
Tom Callaway: No vote
Warren Togami: No vote
Rex Dieter: No vote
Toshio Kuratomi: No vote

The no votes were either absent people or really not vote.  Either way,
the majority of FESCo is against the rebuild.
