Right. It's not because a bug is not in our Bugzilla that it won't affect our users. If upstream fixes a bug, there must have been a bug in the first place, and only in rare occasions it doesn't affect Fedora, usually it does. > Users typically are interested in seeing "their bugs" fixed and are > testing their use-cases, but are not "testers in general". > > I.e. they typically will pickup patches or packages and try them in > their use-cases, but they will not regularily pull the "testing repos". Indeed, only few people systematically use updates-testing. If it were suitable for general consumption, it would be called "stable". :-) So once again we're in violent agreement. :-) Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
