Ralf, It's a good issue that has come up before. Users sometimes want to stick with their installed releases while still getting fixes for the bugs important to them. The problem all comes down to limited resources and priorities. There are only so many hours in the day, and given the goals of the Fedora Core distribution (which include being on the leading edge of open source technology), it is generally more important to spend those hours improving the development tree than backporting fixes for old releases. There are probably ways that things can be improved without hurting future development, so by all means stick with the issue! You're already on your way to finding out what the constraints are and where the solution may be. Best, -- Elliot The daring is in the doing http://people.redhat.com/sopwith/
