(Rhetorical) How do you (or maintainers) know with certainty that there isn't a header file dependence, or a compiler change that would lead to a faster (or a bug for that matter). Is that a necessity if someone has verified working functionality of an older binary - no probably not - (tho I have no idea if such testing occurs) but it will lead to bugs being found sooner and any benefits from compiler improvements etc being taken advantage of. And frankly, its a bad operational decision to defer full builds. Further - it just plain 'looks' better for f15 packages to be called f15. Necessity? Probably not - is it a good idea to wait until a problem occurs as the decision to rebuild - also probably not. One man's simple is another man's food for thought. -- 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
