If you interpret "The ABI" as "Any property of the binary that another package could conceivably depend on" then your position makes sense. But since nobody would interpret it that way, the obvious conclusion is that "The ABI" means "The supported ABI". Attempting to codify this more precisely would just encourage language lawyering, which is exactly what we were trying to avoid when we generated this policy. Use common sense. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
