As soon as preventing hurt feelings becomes the goal for any technical solution... you have allowed emotion to trump technical merit and substantiative progress. The only way to avoid bad feelings is to keep the discussion above personal politics, stay focused on larger goals, and to make sure everyone communicates their priorities up front. New solutions may or may not obsolete previous attempts to solve the problem... and you can't even count on different people to define the problem to be solved similarly. But we must not let the emotional attachment to any specific technical implementation hold us back from choosing the best solution to solve the larger priorities and to make the best use of the resources at hand. It's unfortunate that this issue has become personal to a number of people, but I will not let personal politics hold the progress of the Fedora project hostage. There is a saying about omelets and broken eggs that would seem appropriate. -jef"my love for omelets is just a convenient covert for my fetish for breaking eggs"spaleta
