I've seen several possible problems being mentioned on fedora-test-list. I didn't test it myself, so I don't know if any of them are true. If you really insist on this upgrade, please do test it on all versions! > Note, this is not an upgrade just to upgrade, we're fixing bugs here. This may be true on 8.0 and 9 - I don't use them, so do what you want on them. But as far as I can see the rpm of 7.3 works nicely, so there is no need to upgrade. Does it really help *that much* to maintain packages to risk breakage? I doubt it, but then I never had to build rpms for more than one version. What would be the benefit of upgrading rpm on 7.3? From the current discussion I don't see any.
