I was trying to be polite by not rehashing or pushing something that had already been discussed.  If work has already been done I thought it would better build on it instead starting from scratch.

I'm still trying to understand exactly what processes and decisions go into creating a Fedora release... from the planning process all the way to GA and maintenance.  I'd like to think that eventually we could have a document explaining this entire process, including how bugs are handled.  I think this is an important aspect of being transparent as a project.
