Seems like I need to say this over and over again :) I didn't 'propose' it, exactly. I pointed it out more or less as an example. As I've been saying for months, my fundamental point is that this is an impossible argument, as currently framed. There are two general groups of users to consider: those who want mostly new versions and those who want mostly conservative updates. With a single update stream, all we can do is pick one or the other. With a dual update stream we can attempt to cater to both, at a cost of some added burden on maintainers. I think it's ultimately a Board decision whether we pick one of the two target groups and stick to it, or whether we try to cater to both. That decision should basically make it obvious what we should do with our update streams. So, no, I'm not proposing that Fedora adopt a Mandriva-type system. To do so would be premature without a project-wide decision that we wanted to cater to both types of user and were willing to accept the additional overhead involved. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
