I think that in 99.999% of the cases there will be no problems at all and this service will be invaluable to many. For the remaining 0.001%, well... they have been warned and I'm sure they will warn the others so the package in question will get fixed pretty quickly :) The extra time needed for this is not very much and in that way we could have several other distros (8.0 maybe?) in an almost fully supported state. I will appreciate very much such a move, as I still have a very importand server with 7.2 and I'm too afraid to upgrade (it runs far too many services and has some hacks in some places to make the upgrade more difficult). I think I'm not the only one in this state... -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
