Maybe it would be better to make the distinction a different way. The test list is used for communications of the Fedora QA team, and for people who are actively, well, _testing_ the software. This list is the _users_ list, and is for people who are _using_ the software. Rather than saying "wrong list!" if someone is using a beta or rawhide release _as a user_, we could just be more accepting of those posts here. Of course, some times the response would be "well, that's beta still, so don't expect perfection". But in reality, a lot of software that's updated in rawhide or beta is upstream changes, and those changes are likely to land in final. To me, it makes perfect sense to talk about the user impact here. In the cases where it then goes into a QA topic, we could encourage discussion to move to the test list (or to a bug report). -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
