The only problem is that most of those users will learn that they HAD to add an exclude to their yum config after it's too late... What would be ideal (maybe not ideal but I think it's an idea towards that) is a flag to prevent automatic updates of certain packages (in this case Xorg) so people would have to do the update manually and if possible with some sort of warning when you want to update it. It's a little more trouble for people who aren't using binary drivers to get the update but at least the Fedora Users list wouldn't get flooded by angry users because an update broke something. -- Jean-Rene Cormier <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
