There are two sets of users: 1) users that do not want Core updated, and 2) users that *do* want Core updated. Continuing to debate about why turns into a "emacs vs vi" debate. Seriously. Fedora should be agnostic as to either of these groups in any obvious, active endeavor. Of course, micro-steps need to be made on a per-package basis as reported via Bugzilla--when the maintainer finds it as an acceptable change. Otherwise, we work around them. And a final comment to the those users in #1: do not use repos that cater to #2. That's it. -- -jeff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
