I am replying to this version of the thread -- I cannot tell from what I 
see (not having the full SMTP headers on display) whether or not the 
change in Subject has hijacked this thread -- in which case I am not the 
hijacker.

I fully understand that is a "technical" list, and since posting the 
item to which there have been many comments but little data, have been 
informed of the existence of SL fora.  I must point out that the fora to 
which I have been directed are not maintained at Fermilab/CERN sites.

To me, "technical" includes "engineering".  A significant decision of 
engineering is choice of instrumentality, including design, development, 
and testing methodologies of any particular instrumentality. 
Instrumentalities in computers include operating systems and their 
environments.

I apologize that I did not understand that for this SL list, "technical" 
is restricted to "support" issues -- make what is part of SL (RHEL?) 
work, post fixes, or declare non-fixable for now.  Is it appropriate to 
enquire on this list for a description/documentation on the actual 
development process of SL from RHEL source RPMs?
