Ohw? Who decided that?

That depends. Someone decided the live spin kickstarts needed to be 
maintained in two separate repositories by making the official spins 
come from livecd-tools' GIT repo. When that happened, or why, I don't 
know. Nor do I know what objections there are to a new location, 
including it's new (submission/review) process. What's keeping 
livecd-tools, release engineering, hence "the official process" from 
using the kickstarts in spin-kickstarts exactly?

I say two locations, because the fedora-10-gold.ks used for installation 
media is in pungi (and? or?) fedora-release, not in spin-kickstarts, and 
as such doesn't concern this discussion.

FWIW, my livecd-tools GIT commit access request has been pending for 
ages. I was planning on letting the kickstarts have an easy transition, 
but I guess it's not going to happen.

I feel I'm contributing a valuable effort to this process, thanks.
