I mean, I don't see that there's necessarily an equivalence between "knowing what you're doing" and "expecting it to be broken". That's the reason I quite like the current criterion: it commits us to not just throwing a bunch of hand grenades at the user in the installer. If we're going to do that it should at least be communicated *somehow* outside of just being in the release criteria. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
