But it seems the dnf folks made this decision very clear several times over a longer time span (like closing a bug in June 2013, stating the fact in January 2014 and it's even been written down in the docs) so it's unlikely to be changed. And since dnf is planned for F22, changing yum's behavior would be much work for only just one release. Also, as Josh stated, removing kernel-drivers isn't that critical. Therefore, I vote we don't touch yum. -- Sandro _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
