So, a user starts out with kdelibs-4.2.2 in Fedora 11, and decides to only take security updates. Their update path is now: 4.2.2 -> 4.2.4 -> 4.3.1 <end> Say they take security and bugfix. Their upgrade path is now: 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3 -> 4.2.4 -> 4.3.1 -> 4.3.2 -> 4.3.3 -> 4.3.4 -> 4.3.5 -> 4.4.0 How is the user supposed to 'by all means' know that that is sensible?
