Linux may not be much of a target for worms currently, but that was different in the past and could easily be different in the future. I do not believe that scaring users away from upgrading is in the interest of the community at large. The other option is to split security-updates away from other updates. Then you have to deal with half-updated systems, with all the lovely dependency problems that involves. It can be done in a purely commercial distro, where you can tell people to do that kind of boring thankless work. In a mostly community-driven like Fedora it would be difficult. /Benny -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
