Going forward... only time will tell... No, I didn't mean introduce it in e.g. 7.2 -> 7.3. I meant how would you phase this in so users using e.g. RHEL 7 have sufficient lead time to migrate to the new style whenever the next major RHEL release comes out. What tools or scripts would you put in place to help with mixed release environments? Are there upgrade tools that would be needed? Those are the things I would think about. They apply to Fedora releases as well. josh _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
