And here's a few reasons why I think this shouldn't be pushed: - You are forcing others to do work they otherwise wouldn't need to do. Why do you want me to test ImageMagick functionality in 57 dependant packages? Fix your security bugs and leave other packages alone. F16 is supposed to be stable. - A major ImageMagick update that introduces new features and new code invalidates the QA that has gone into the packages that use ImageMagick. - Needless update churn. We have the Stable Updates Policy for a reason. Do you development on rawhide and let stable Fedora release be stable. - The soname bump breaks third party packages that use ImageMagick libraries. An example is 'transcode' from rpmfusion. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy explicitly says that such ABI bumps are left to the discretion of FESCO and the packager. Have you already asked FESCO for their blessing? "Note that you should open this dialog _BEFORE_ you build or push updates."
