Well, i hope such people with limited internet connections can handle a GUI or CLI command, read how big an update in question would be and can click [cancel] or write 'no' to the commandline if they think that's too much. *sigh* I obviously don't know what kind of people do live out there in the wild. All the people i know, and i know a lot, are able to choose what they want and what fits their needs. -- LG Thomas Dubium sapientiae initium -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
