Hey, Jeff. 

It's cool. We'll get it sorted out. 

I really appreciate everything you have done for open-source in the last 3
years. You have created a toolchain that has enabled the 48 folks using it to
generate more open-source content than any other project in the history of
open-source. You have done things that no-one else has done and you did so
without ever drawing attention to yourself and your immense contributions.

There are a 179 make files that need to be edited and 4117 documentation sets in
23 languages that need to be recompiled. I know it is non-trivial and a world of
work to re-do 2 years worth of work in 2 days.

Let me check the community of use around the documentation-devel package and see
what their thougths are on taking this burden completely on themselves to redo.

Thank you again, Jeff and apologies to the Jens/Patrice/Parang for the
distraction. Honestly had no idea the impact this name would have on fedora.

- Mike
