Um... November 2004 the CVS server went public for Fedora Extras where we collaboratively maintained thousands of packages around Core before the distro fully merged prior to Fedora 7.

Since the early days, Fedora has had many auxiliary repositories like "Extras". And yes, "Extras" was kinda sorta special. But what people were clamoring for (for almost 4 years) was for the "Core" of Fedora Core to open up. You know, the "community distro" itself. Not the auxiliary repos. And *you know that very well*. How could you not? At this late date, isn't it really best to just admit it and go on? As I recall, it was only *very shortly* before the end of May 2007 release of F7 that the merged cvs repo was completed. http://lwn.net/Articles/232958/ And I could dig up plenty of "What the hell is taking the Fedora guys so long?" articles over the 4 year period, including at least one pretty good one from LWN, IIRC. Want me to?
