I think it is a bit silly to claim some "maintainer privilege" for this (which is actually a very important part of ensuring a good update experience for users), when we are at the same time force packagers to justify every comma they may have misplaced in a spec file during package reviews (which has very little bearing on the user experience). There is some incongruence 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
