2.3.x Red Hat RPMS

[Brent J. Nordquist]

Food for thought... certainly when we get to near-beta or beta, additional
testing will be worthwhile.  We should just keep our eye on this; I'm
willing to create the RPMs, as Donnie says:  when the team would consider
it useful to have significantly more testing.

My simple answer to the above is that you should introduce them as soon as you
want *more* testing of 2.3 than you are currently getting.

I doubt I'm alone when I say that I'd probably install 2.3 if RPMs were
available, but I don't have time to jump in otherwise.  Yes, I did download
a 2.3 tarball and did look at it for a couple minutes, but it didn't seem
trivial to install it alongside my 2.2.2 installation (yeah, I need to upgrade
that, too) so I didn't.  I'm sure it's not terribly hard, but I just didn't
have the time.

My opinion is that we should wait a little bit more; there are some things 
(like conf file changes, etc.) that are going to make upgrading a bit awkward, 
and I'd like things to be a little more consistent before we bring too many 
people in who aren't willing to roll up their sleeves and help out.

This part doesn't seem quite right; with the current conf scheme all parameters 
are required, except for cases like prefs, logs or connection tracking where 
disabling the feature makes other specific options unnecessary. So it seems 
like there should be an "only-if" option, or something like that, that 
enables/disables a group of prefs based on a single boolean pref.
