In thinking about it further, I believe I did an upgrade from F7 using the DVD (rescue CD and DVD mounted over http). So, that is likely why I didn't have codeina installed. Also, I have since heard about the bug that made the explanation dialog not appear; I didn't see that because I installed codeina from -updates. We've had several unfortunate timing problems and bugs that caused things to not appear as they should. It might be that the codeina implementation sucks eggs, in the end, but the goal was not egg suckage. It was to first inform, then legally enable, our users. What is the approach we should now take with this, autodownloader, etc.? There is a legal line and a moral line. We are careful not to cross the former, but we are having a hard time defining and keeping to the latter. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
