-----

A section has been added to the guidelines which documents the
procedure for deviation from those guidelines. Work will now begin to
clarify the language in existing guidelines into the usual SHOULD and

guidelines.

Due to the addition of RPM file triggers, the scriptlet guidelines have
been amended to indicate that some scriptlets should not be used in
F24+. Specifically: gsettings schemas, gdk-pixbuf loaders, gtk+ 3
modules, gio modules and mimeinfo.  Also, update-desktop-database should
not be used as of Fedora 25.

The review process document has been amended to note possible
exceptions, and to indicate that review is not needed in certain
situations where a different version of an existing package is being
added.
