Who cares about the stability of our distribution. > </sarcasm> Eh? What has this comment to do here? Or have you realised that too many users are burnt by the frequent updates and upgrades that are pushed out to Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6? That is the #1 complaint by users who have wandered off to Ubuntu, for example. Released Updates which break something badly. Wrapped into nice words in good-looking update announcements, which advertise everything but the regression and breakage. How does that help us? The testing is missing, not the announcements. Anyway, I wonder what this has to do with a sudden and late freeze of Extras' packages? -- 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
