I agree it's kind of a minority pursuit, though I've found it useful occasionally (it was pretty useful for doing fedlet debugging when I was running live images exclusively, for e.g.) I'd be fine with it not being something we blocked releases on or anything, and de-emphasizing it (even more than it currently is) on the documentation etc. (Which is actually pretty much where we are right now). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
