Acknowledged; I was unclear on my statement. I said "you don't have to maintain a separate branch" as shorthand for saying "you don't have to remember to keep another branch up to date, perform separate builds on it, etc.". That's still the recommended approach from my perspective, because it means less risk of bitrot which will fall on the SIG to repair. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
