Again, that applies to _everything in the distro_. I don't think 'it's a new version' can be a feature. If we identify something particular within the GNOME or KDE package set which is a significant enough change to qualify as a Fedora feature, fine, submit it as such. But just declaring the entire version upgrade to be a feature seems a bit weird to me. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
