That's because you're misreading Rahul's claims. Rahul was replying to a post which claimed Fedora has a 'policy' of being 'bleeding edge'. Rahul's point is that we don't, and the only policy we do have - even though, as he specifically notes, it's a weak one (he says 'specifically recommends', not 'requires') - is rather the opposite. If you'd left in the context from the post Rahul was replying to, this would have been clear. -- 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
