I was thinking about third-party modules for x.org-7.x. I see your point. Please read my new mail "Fedora target audience, what about the research area? (was Re: Leaving?)", in the same thread. I have tried to explain the problem from some "institutional" users. The same problem occurs with the kernel: ABI changes are usually internal to the kernel+libc. But there are third-party kernel modules, again. In the mail I quote above, I try to explain why the ABI of shared library should be preserved during the life time of a major release of Fedora, as much as possible. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
