Quoting you:
&#8220;the ML would quickly get polluted with too many parallel discussions
if every sub-group did all their discussion on the same ML&#8221;

That's exactly what a ML is for, parallel discussions each ideally
contained in a thread of its own; that's what I was pointing out.
&gt;&gt;<i> This looks like coercing other packagers into adapting your point of
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> view &quot;if you don't agree with my POV then you're not an open community
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> distro&quot;; I don't like that attitude one bit.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Nobody is coerced by me, in fact I believe in the 'live and let live'
</I>&gt;<i> principle, it's actually some dismissive posts here that made me defend
</I>&gt;<i> this principle.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> In any distro there're rules and guidelines that should be followed
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (look at Debian for example); being a community distro doesn't mean
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> anyone gets a free reign to do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Calm down, I don't see where I said anything to get you worked up like
</I>&gt;<i> this.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
I am calm, you don't see me shouting, do you? :)

&gt;&gt;<i> Note that Michael is discussing the issue, he didn't make final
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> decisions. If you have a productive argument to make please do so,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> otherwise please refrain from calling other peoples' posts &quot;silly&quot; (or
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;non-sense&quot; judging from your other posts on the ML).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Michael's initial post in this thread was very dismissive and not
</I>&gt;<i> productive at all, if anything you should be criticising him, I don't see
</I>&gt;<i> why you are attacking me here?
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
To put things in perspective, here's what Michael said:
&#8220;And secondary, I think we should also try to avoid having too much task-
rpms. Their values is in the fact they allow to quickly install a set of
rpm without searching in the whole set of rpm.

If there is too much of them, people while end searching in the various
task-* rpms, and that seems counter productive at best.
( ie, searching the task rpm they want to avoid searching rpm they want
directly ... ).&#8221;

Doesn't look dismissive to me, he stated rather clearly why he's
against having too many task/meta packages.
