Well, some people accuse me of formalizing everything to much and 
putting to much government structures into Fedora (they might have a 
point, but that's another discussion). But reading the above I'm 
starting myself to wonder: does FESCo really want and have to look at 
such issue like adjusting references to fedora-extras-list? Sending the 
  adjustments that are going to be made to the list (where FESCo members 
as well as ordinary packagers can jump in if they don't like something) 
and discussing them in FPC IMHO should be more than enough I'd say.

BTW, it's not my business as I'm not in the FPC, but I thought I mention 
it here as I'm writing this mail anyway already: most meetings times 
seems to take the DST switch into account and adjust the UTC meeting 
time by an hour so the effective time always stays round about (¹) the 
same for US and Europe. Wouldn't that be a solution for the FPC, too?

Just my 2 cent.

(¹) -- the switches are on different dates these days, so there are two 
or three weeks where it's getting a bit mor complicated :-/
