Unthinkable, no, but there are various practical issues with doing official re-spins which have meant it's never actually happened, and the project for doing it semi-externally - Unity - is often way behind. One that I wasn't previously aware of, which Spot explained to me recently, is U.S. export regulations; we have to go through a long and tedious regulatory process for official builds, and no-one's particularly keen to start doing that multiple times per cycle for respins. -- 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
