No, the question is irrelevant in the context of the %{dist} package space where the kernel is known to be >= 2.6.17. Conflicts of Fedora 7 with packages from Red Hat Linux 9 are outside the scope of such a policy.

And what conflicts are possible a few months later after hundreds of updates? > > Does FESCo like surprises during full installations or when future > > updates pull in a conflicting dep-chain? > > Seems nobody is targeting anymore to make "full installations" possible. Possibly not at install-time. But all packages are available after firstboot. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
