We will not retire packages based on flaws which are not really flaws. Trackers are opened by Product Security team against Fedora packages, by reviewing mostly the affected NVR etc, no detailed investigation is done. If you feel this is not really a bug feel free to close it. Package Maintainers know their packages more than anyone else. The purpose of this whole proposal is not to remove software from Fedora, but to achieve a state where open security issues are either addressed or appropriately closed if notaffected. -- Huzaifa Sidhpurwala / Red Hat Product Security Team _______________________________________________ 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
