And what would have happened if those packages that made F11 "too broken" had found their way in Fedora 10 as stable updates? - Joe User: "Foobar is too buggy in F11, and it's a critical part of my usage of my computer, so I'm staying on F10" - Foobar maintainer: "I'm updating Foobar in F10 so that F10 users can benefit from the same new features as those on F11" To me, not updating F(x-1) to the same level as Fx is actually the best way to let people their "right to skip a Version". If you update F(x-1) to the same level as Fx, then those users will (almost) not have skipped anything. ---------- Mathieu Bridon -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
