I propose that everyone involved steps back and takes a deep breath. If
some people (like Tom and Jeff) cannot deal with each other without name
calling then they shouldn't. Frankly, I'm not interested in those past
personal issues, I only care about improving Fedora's packaging tools. So,
let me ask again: what *technical* issues prevent rpm-4.4.7 from being
adopted in fc-devel/fc7? An analysis of potential problems has already been
done and link posted earlier in this thread.
