How strong of a restriction are you looking for? This sort of feels like something which would at the strongest be a "SHOULD NOT" but maybe you're looking for an absolute ban. Some maintainers may find it difficult to comply with an absolute ban if the relevant software doesn't make it easy to change the allocator. And some upstreams may have strong preferences for one allocator over another (which I imagine would often be linked to performance). Will assistance be offered to modify affected packages? What about contacting upstreams? How many packages would need to change to meet this guideline? - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/NZPN42BDVDVDJLI7GS36HTYE4F4QNPFA/
