| Weren’t you threatening to shutdown Bazzite just a few months ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44381265 |

| No, my statement was Fedora was about to shoot itself in the foot and that it'd be easier for Bazzite to not exist than for us to clean up their mess. Note that this was in a change proposal which was rescinded without a vote by it's proposer. |

This change would kill off projects like Bazzite entirely right as Fedora is starting to make major headway in the gaming space. > I’m speaking as it’s founder, if this change is actually made as it is written the best option for us is to just go ahead and disband the project. Now, whenever you would've actually shut down the project is a different story, but your messaging was very clear. | | |

The messaging was very clear that the upstream change would make Bazzite almost untenable. It was a criticism of Fedora, not a threat to quit. | |

| ▲ | dralley an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | What is the point of this line of questioning? They stated that the proposal as-written would make maintaining projects like Bazzite untenable. That's a valid thing to say and not that much of a "threat", but even if it were, most people involved here is effectively unpaid and can do whatever they want with their time. | | |
| ▲ | parsimo2010 an hour ago | parent [-] | | The point is the original commenter said there’s a risk of these kinds of projects getting shut down. The creator chimed in and claimed there wasn’t much risk, and then someone posted comments from the same creator in the recent past talking about shutting the project down if an upstream change was made, validating the original comment and making the creator sound less valid. |

| Someone on HN really ought to know the difference between a request for comment / change proposal and a dictat. If nothing else, the only way these problems ever get solved is by bringing them up, surfacing the issues and providing an impetus to get them solved. |

| No? Clearly outlining the pitfalls of a proposal is not a threat. |
