I thought the desktop team was working on a plan where if there is a kernel update with no working Nvidia driver, the new kernel would be installed but the default boot would stay the old one until the driver update is available (overridable by the user at any time or on the distro side if we flag a kernel update as important or critical for security). I've got some misgivings about even that, but it sounds far better than holding back the kernel overall. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
