If that "one" person is the maintainer (and/or upstream developer) of the package in question, and they happen to disagree with you? I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you.
The reason it was closed was because Seth totally misunderstood what the RFE was trying to accomplish. Set thought that we were trying to make it impossible or extremely difficult for 3rd parth repos. to override base packages when the opposite is true. We want to make it easy for them to do this, but we want the user to have to take an extra step in order to enable them to do this. And this extra step should warn the user about the consequences of enabling this. We are *trying* to protect unknowning and unsuspecting users here. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
