We get bugs filed in our bugzilla for rpmfusion things, virtualbox, vmware, proprietary modules, gentoo kernels, and other non-Fedora things. They are mildly irritating but calling it a burden would be stretching it. Forcing a user-agent change on remixes isn't going to fix any of those cases. In this specific case, I can recall perhaps 2 kernel bugs being filed about Pidora since it was released. Both were closed with an explanation that we don't provide Pidora and the reporters handled it just fine. josh _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
