If you're going by my page, you'll note that Generally it is expected that these types of bugs can be fixed without introducing new major upstream releases. When this is not the case the update should be considered a new upstream version and treated accordingly. And then if you read the new upstream versions you'll see: For new upstream versions of packages which provide new features, but don't just fix critical bugs, an update can still be issued, but it is vital that the new upstream version does not regress or drastically change a user's experience. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
