In retrospect (about 5 minutes after I sent it), all but
the last few bits (about Fedora(TM) and the new RPM Fusion
project) should have been made off-list by myself.  Really
no reason to bother the rest of the list with my 'tude.

P.S.  I'll be the first to admit Debian's long history on
package guidelines, including their acceptance by many,
many maintainers.  The Fedora Project has its, and this is
the first ever "3rd party" effort to follow them and build
a single repo that is Fedora-aligned, but doesn't have all
the liability issues as Fedora(TM) is Red Hat(R) owned.
Livna is "on-board" and "100% converted," but it will probably
be a bit before FreshRPMS is (especially since I stopped using
all their stuff years ago because of their issues).

I.e., at this point RPM Fusion is basically Livna + a few
other packages from a few other maintainers (mainly a few
from FreshRPMS), it seems.  But it's a start.  ;)

I don't have a "favorite Linux distro."  I use, develop
and support community efforts, often built around Linux.
Technology and solutions are my focus, not dragging in
assumptions, marketing and other concepts which dominate
non-community developed software, which I left long ago.
