I agree, and I feel that there needs to be guidelines as to what is an 'acceptable update' for a released Fedora. Extras has been wide open, push whatever you want, whenever you want. This can lead to a poor user experience, drinking from the firehose of updates leading to an unstable system. If that's the kind of experience they wanted, they'd use rawhide. We need to be more careful about what we push and why, as well as testing it to make sure we're not just lobbing grenades over the wall. New infrastructure and workflow will help setup the framework for this, but it still requires participation and man hours to do the testing. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
