I will search for it. So you stop'd using it, BUT you faced more problems like that. Now that's interesting. Or is it that you blow into the same horn as others do?

And a better system than buildroot overrides we're asking/asked for will help there as well. Though there's that link YOU provided and pointed fingers at US. >> Just to remind anyone, if you forgot, or dont know what Fedora stands >> for IN REAL LIFE, you might go out and check it.

So the one who assumes something seems to be you. I don't want to convert you, so please keep your different position. But stay with what YOU know from experience and provide BZs for that mass of regressions/problems you faced. That's something YOU want from users as well who have a different position than you.
