    Thank you for submitting this list of items. Please submit the items as separate RFE's so that IBM can consider the individual items appropriately.

    Opinion: Lumping these all together may cause the entire RFE to be declined because of one or two that IBM determines not to port.

    Further, there are some I am in favor of (i.e. the Yum related) and others I am not, so I've delayed casting my vote.

    To the above point, could you provide more justification other than "the others are related to tools for system management"?
