If I say I'd like to steal $100 from you, and you'd prefer me not to steal any of your money, is the 'obvious compromise' that I steal $50 the best solution? Just a random example; point is, a compromise is never automatically the right solution; it can go wrong because it doesn't manage to capture the good point of either proposal, or because one proposal is so wrong that it's still bad even if you only have half of it. The second thing doesn't apply to this case, but the first certainly could. It's not immediately obvious that a compromise between 'lots of adventurous updates' and 'only conservative updates' would be the best solution for anyone. After all, we sort of have a compromise right now - some maintainers ship adventurous updates, some ship conservative - and that doesn't seem to be making everyone happy. -- 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
