But it is an unfounded frustration, as your understanding of the policy is
incorrect.
To be fair, it's basically what I've been pretty regularly saying the policy is. So some of the blame there rests with me. As I see it, open the door to "critical" non-security bugs is a problem, because it puts us in the situation of having to decide what's critical and what's not -- a more subjective determination than "is this a security flaw".
Before gravitating elsewhere, though, I will offer an opinion. Unless there is a restrictive covenent in Red Hat's support of Fedora Legacy that limits updates to "security" and "trivial" patches, there is reason to consider broadening "updates policy" somewhat beyond security only. Fedora Legacy updates policy and willingness of the community to support Fedora Legacy are not independent of one another. However the issue is resolved I wish the group well.
