I think because they see the size of updates as important and the risk of something breaking as being very low. Also the rules for including new packages are being bent for some packages, which makes one think they can be bent for other packages. I don't think the complaints are unreasonable. I think the answer should still be no. The process should be explained as well as at least a general rational for other exceptions granted this go around. And for the future the process should be more closely followed and the process documentation updated if there are reasons we will take updates for packages other than to fix blockers after the RC process has started. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
