My point being that a "stable release policy" != "stagnant release policy". If the maintainer feels that a new version fixes major deficiencies in the existing version (beyond a simple bug fix) he should be allowed to push a major upgrade (given sufficient testing) even if it risk breaking existing installations. ... And if you don't trust your maintainers to make such a decision - why the hell have you given them the right to package the software to begin with? - Gilboa -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
