I don't know if OpenID is supposed to work, and, in fact, it does not. My new blog is svpv.wordpress.com.
New Fedora stuff might be interesting because of two things, which perhaps are not tightly coupled with each other: 1) smooth web interface, which is none of my business; and 2) representing packages as some entities which can lead to a comprehensive data model of the repo. The latter is what I'm basically interested in.
There's been some ongoing work on how to represent packages that form the repo, and I think that there's been some success. We're about to deploy a technical model called "metarepo". It's a non-relational model; it focus is simply outside of relational algebra (like 1-N mapping package-to-maintainers of whatever). What it does focus on is how packages change and how changes affect each other. The model is believed to have strong practical consequences.
