I don't have an easy way of knowing how many of those i686 checkins are old releases -- I'll need to ask Smooge to make a custom report -- but I think it's fair to guess that it's significantly tilted that way. So, taking a SWAG, I'd say maybe 10% of our users would be impacted. That's pretty big, but on the other hand if the cost is disproportionate -- and having heard from the kernel people about this for several years, I think it might be -- it's probably something we should do anyway. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
