But we are not talking about a security fix. Obviously a security fix would take priority, and I would hope that both it and bug fixes could be done without breaking peoples systems. But the discussed release of X.Org 7.1 is a feature enhancement, and one being considered by the maintainer with the deliberate goal of breaking existing systems running F5. That is not fair to the people running F5. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
