There was a topic of conversation that was brought up in #rhel that I wanted to address here on the mailing lists. What about repo tagging? Why do (all that I know of) other 3rd party repositories seem to tag their packages in respect to their repo such as foo-0.1.i386.el5.rf or foo-0.1.i386.el5.at (or however the method is preferred) and we don't?
Just wanted to post the question here because I didn't/don't have the answer.
Thanks, -Adam

Sorry to all parties involved if I have brought up old cruft that should have been left to the grave but I wasn't aware and was just seeking an answer. Thanks to dgilmore for pointing me to the archives, I found the thread and read through it.

... and you'll find that there's still a lot of bad blood splattered around over the dubious decision that resulted from the discussions.

Its ok... its going to be asked every 6 months no matter what. It is one of those things that caused a lot of wounds that seem to have stayed festering. There are technical reasons people wanted it and there were emotional/psychological reasons (eg identity) people wanted it. And there were similar reasons 'against' it. In the end one side got chosen and that's pretty much it.

We should probably consider sending out a monthly FAQ with the monthly subscription info, things that answer these type of FAQs.

You already know Red Hat as the entity dedicated to 100% no-IP-strings-attached, community software development. But do you know where CIOs rate Red Hat versus other software and services firms for their own, direct needs? It's no comparison: http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/
