The point is that is not true! A significant fraction of builds in updates-testing do not go to stable because some problem is found with them. Unfortunately, the data at https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/517 do not tell us this fraction. I have added a comment there requesting better data. -- Matt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
