Indeed.  In light of the recent "debian has become a quagmire of process"
revelations, I hope that Fedora doesn't follow suit.  We _already_ have
some people complaining that the barrier for entry for becoming a Fedora
developer is too high. Adding more obstacles seems to be solving a non-problem.

Just because one community distro is doing something doesn't mean we have to do it too.
