> - Odd: "Hummingbird [...] The council voted in favor of this in secret in order to expedite the process"

From the article - "Instead, a request was submitted to the council privately to approve the usage of the Fedora trademark."

For an organisation that does most things publicly ... but who owns the trademarks? I get your point about "How people might perceive Fedora", but I'm also acutely aware how some (usually the most voluble) people just seem totally impervious to facts.

As somebody with no real interest whatsoever in the Fedora/RH ecosystem, I'm just an observer, and if Fedora are using this as a way of keeping IBM's obsession with AI out of mainstream Fedora, good luck to them.

AI is a good servant, but too many people seem to want to make it their master. I'm sick of AI offering to do things for me - "Let me summarise this document for you!" when I'm an analyst and need to dig into the detail! If other people like it, good luck to them, just don't foist it on everybody else. Hummingbird doesn't appear to be proper Fedora, let's hope it becomes a nectar-trap for all the AI-moths :-)

Cheers,
