I agree that it shouldn't break things but only those the developers have control of. Anyway, since X is of very importance for people, I think Fedora should bend the rules for the moment. I can imagine how much disruption it will cause for beginners to inadvertently update to xorg 7.1 and have X crashes. Doing major update for release products is the very advantage Fedora has over other distributions. I hope it continues to do so. -- Leon -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
