Dave I can understand the purpose of your message but IMHO it fails the point of this thread. Some releases ago I have updated one package in the two supported stable releases (F-(n-2) and F-(n-1)) while the moving of updates to stable from the soon to be released F-n versions were frozen (just like they are now). Of course I could have remembered that and have delayed the update until the ban to move packages to stable was lifted, ensuring then that the upgrade path between releases is always working. It was my mistake, I got a notice that the updates to versions F-(n-2) and F-(n-1) were ready to go to stable, the feedback was positive and thus I pushed then to stable. The corollary of this thread and of the previous story is that I think that the tools that we use to issue updates should help us detect those corner cases where the update path is broken.
