Well, that's the problem. Most of our users (including many of the professional sysadmins) are *not* able to make a fully informed choice about whether an online upgrade will ensure that they're no longer running any code with known security issues. That's not a criticism of them - it's just a much harder problem than almost everyone realises. Nobody's suggesting making it impossible to use yum, but blessing it as a first-class distribution upgrade mechanism is a bad idea. There's far too many corner cases, and we can't justify the effort it'd take to fix all of them. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
