Yeah. This proposal seems like it breaks one of the fundamental process improvements we already made, namely No Frozen Rawhide. I don't have a problem with Kalev's goal of reducing the amount of overhead for maintainers who only want to update rawhide and branched together, but I do object to doing that by preventing maintainers who want to push rawhide forward from doing so. >> Technically it should be easy to accomplish by having the fedora-release >> package obsolete older fedora-release-rawhide packages during that time >> frame.

I don't really care which is the default; whichever it is, the need is to make it reasonably simple to choose the other. But locking rawhide down in pursuit of such a goal is the Wrong Thing. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
