Many maintainers push new versions of the packages they maintain as updates, routinely. It's not just KDE by any means. We do not currently have any 'policy' against doing this, so it is not accurate to say that Kevin is trying to 'fix Fedora policies so that *[his]* upgrade paths will look correct'. Strictly considering our current policies (or lack of them), there is nothing wrong with Kevin's upgrade paths. -- 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
