Sorry if my wording was misleading. I was *not* suggesting that the Working Group should be dispensed with. I was suggesting to keep the WG the way it is suggested by Fedora procedures (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Leadership#Working_Groups). Not everyone who likes to participate will be willing and able to do the same high level of work that is expected of the Working Group. Hence the proposal to re-establish both, SIG and WG. This avoids misunderstandings, failures and disappointed expectations.
