The "should"! No more apology. You may wish to consider prefacing your point with "Personally, I think it would be better if...". Then you've expressed an opinion and a desire to see something happen as a suggestion, instead of opining what you consider to be a "glaring fact" and a deficiency. There is a difference in the approach. I hope you consider it. > But it seems to me that if Fedora re-spins using jigdo > are to become an official, or semi-official, part of Fedora > then those creating the jigdos are under some obligation > to explain how to use them. Under Linux, no one is obligated to do anything. That's a point to consider. RDay made a stab, some time ago, at doing this step-by-step as an exercise in writing one. He asked for suggestions and improvements. Like you, OTOH, I would have had no -clue- about the mount loop business, either. However, RDay was doing something he wanted to do, just for ducks, and at that point, "I think it would be better if..." and "I would suggest..." are far more helpful, supportive and inspirational statements to use to the kind budding Author. Now you know the rest of the story. And, that is my two cents.
