I'm perfectly happy with a policy that says no broken upgrade paths from the final freeze on (be that Test3 or Test4), but before that one should be free to back down a broken version. We don't seriously want people starting at fc6 going to f7test1, then yum upgrading to some point before test3 and complaining about some bug or such. The first thing we usually do is ask them to reproduce on a clean install from the latest test release or a clean anaconda upgrade from FX to the latest test release. The various state of packages along the way often contribute to a system being in an unreproducible state which doesn't help anybody when trying to fix bugs. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
