In most cases this is a *really bad* idea as it will almost inevitably mean the freeze (once restored) gets longer again, as it's almost certainly going to be the case that some of the changes blocked by the freeze cause new issues. That's *why we have the freeze*, after all. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
