I missed this one... But I think that it is the wrong way to
think about packaging in fedora. We are looking for excellence,
not for completeness. And we shouldn't lower the quality
of our packages to compete with other distros. In general, I
find fedora packaging of better quality than in other
distros, and I think it is important to keep packages as
perfect as possible.


Now, this is my vision, and another packager may think 
otherwise, and also disagree on what would be the right packaging
for texlive, and I also know that I can be perfectionist and 
for those reasons, and others, I haven't assigned that review to 
me although I made a lot of comments, because I want to leave
room for other packagers to approve.
