I'm sure it was good enough for most developers. However, it didn't answer the questions some non-developers had. Maybe you remember the panicked rumours on slashdot the saturday before rhl.redhat.com went live ? It wouldn't be good if those happened again in other audiences, so the site is being updated to also answer their questions. No, I can't be much more specific than that. Sorry ;) > I also have that disturbing thought that one should read the above as > "Red Hat is currently considering going back to the closed development > model"... All the software we ship is developed as open source, so moving the distribution itself to an open development model is only logical. Don't worry... -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it." - Brian W. Kernighan
