In that case, you're probably not surprised anyway because you've been watching its mailing list and other news about it. And you would have to carefully check *every* package that gets updated, no matter how it was configured. Since that isn't easy, you read the release notes ... When the web server is not really important and no more than something nice to have, you're probably not alarmed and instead just think like "oh that's nice that they have improved it" --- or the information even gets filtered out right away when reading the release notes because it seems rather irrelevant, especially when you're more concerned about upgrading at all. Maybe I'm a little spoiled from having used Debian for so long. When there was a change to cyrus that required conversion before upgrading, it was clearly mentioned, and the older version remained installed by default. You had to explicitly do the upgrade and nothing would break when you didn't. -- "Object-oriented programming languages aren't completely convinced that you should be allowed to do anything with functions." http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/08/01.html -- 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 Have a question?
