Often the reason that folks are using an older stable release because they *can not* update to the new stable release because it doesn't work for them, or they *choose* to wait until the new release is *proven* stable. If you ignore that and assume you are free to do as you will to any active release, I would submit you are putting your own wants ahead of your users. Everyone loses in that case, and it is quite natural that conflict arises. Simultaneously updating all active releases is like climbing a mountain without safety ropes. It works fine while everything goes well, but the first slip means you are in for a big fall. Maintaining the older releases with a heightened emphasis on stability is Fedora's safety rope. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
