Request withdrawn

We now know that my tolerance for bureaucracy is less than 6 weeks.

The Fedora packaging process is ridiculously bureaucratic and completely 
lacking in accountability?

A: Doing so would have made it impossible for those Red Hat people using 
rawhide to do their daily work.

B: Publican is NOT a fedora project and our time lines are not 
constrained by fedora or it's bureaucracy.

C: The Fedora packaging process is ridiculously bureaucratic and 
completely lacking in accountability?

The package requests have been in fedora's ridiculously bureaucratic and 
completely lacking accountability package request system for 6 weeks, if 
you want to vent at someone I suggest you direct it at the people who 
advocate that system.

And yes, if I'd opened those tickets I would have closed them by now and 
not bothered with 1.0 on fedora. Bureaucracy is like a shell fish 
allergy, your tolerance is lowered every time you encounter it :/

Cheers. Jeff.
