Ultimately as a Fedora maintainer I came here to make OSS software great. When we get to the point that proprietary software needs are imposing a burden on Fedora maintainers that diverts resources away from making OSS great, that's a bad tradeoff IMHO. Once the only remaining major downsides with dropping i686 are proprietary software[1], it is time to let the respective vendors solve their own problems and free Fedora maintainers. With regards, Daniel [1] Wine is a curious special case because although it is open source, it is again mostly there to enable use of proprietary Windows software. I'm more inclined to give that a pass though, as the Wine devs are actively working to solve this problem faced by distros. -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
