I'm sure if the same level of testing could be done to the gimp-print -> gutenprint upgrade path it would be welcomed. Thus I would propose putting it in Development after it opens for FC7, then send out a bugzilla message like Dave does for every kernel update asking people to recheck bugs against the new update, if people respond favorably then we can put it in updates-testing maybe. But switching 2 weeks prior to release without any regression testing is a bit to risky for most peoples liking even given the benefits and alure of new drivers. - David Nielsen -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
