Quoting Jesse Keating <jkeating@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
This is a real problem, and one I envisioned from the start. When I started this project, I only wanted to support RHL 7.3 and 9, but due to community influence, I've included support for 7.2 and 8.0 as well. I'm going to implement a policy that if a package receives good feedback on 7.3, and no other feedback with in 3 days, that the entire package group will be pushed to updates. Does anybody have a problem with this policy?
I'd rather say if it receives good feedback on either 7.x version, and good feedback on either of the 8/9 versions, then push them all. The 7.x versions are close enough to justify pushing one based on the other, and the 8/9 versions are somewhat close enough also. But to push 9 based on 7.3 seems a stretch unless the patch was really trivial.
This policy makes sense to me. But ultimately it should be up to the bug-owner to make the final decision on a per-package basis.
