Changing that would be a lot more work than adjusting the logic used to choose which to offer. Of course, that doesn't mean we can't say our *distribution level* policy is that either is equally recommended. We'd then have to make a separate decision about which one GNOME Software should offer, so long as it can't offer both. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
