== Summary ==
Xfce desktop environment has version 4.13.x which is currently
available in Fedora. Significant work has been completed to migrate
the DE to GTK-3 completely.  The obvious benefit to this migration is
the use of a modern and actively maintained toolkit.

Xfce 4.14 is a stable release with proven components, provide features
users. This change proposal is submitted to sync fedora packages with
the latest upstream releases.


I'm not objecting to the change itself in the slightest, but I find the wording here quite misleading.

There is no 4.14 release of XFCE.

Such a release is being worked on, a pre-release does exist and the final is expected in time for Fedora 31 (https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap), but at this point in time 4.14 is hardly "a stable release with proven components". I'd think such things should be clearly communicated in the change proposals.

Not that version 4.13 exists either. Getting Fedora off those unofficial development versions is certainly a good thing.
