I still don't see how this prevents a yum update to newer gnome packages allowing some extensions to fail - where is the connection that prevents breakage? Unless the gnome updates are synchronous with the extensions or all API/ABI used by extensions are guaranteed immutable the risk exists .. and has in fact already happened. But, as I said a while back - if you're ok taking the risk something you want/need/depend on may not work after an update .. fine ... I'm a risk taker .. are you? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
