First, of course, we're developing for more than just ourselves. And second, this isn't a reversible statement: just because offline updates primarily target one user type doesn't mean that other user types can't or shouldn't use it. Why do I care about this? The non-techie user wants less rebooting too. I'd love to see the updates toolchain get more smarts about recognizing when an update is "safe" (or at least "safer") and not reboot in those cases. That's possible but would be an investment of work. In the meantime, "offline updates if you want simple and guaranteed", "use yum or dnf online if you're able to handle unlikely but possible consequences" seems workable enough. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
