We know what the problem is, and Fedora has a record of being able to push through changes once a problem is identified and time thrown at it - why can't there just be a cut-off date/release by which most of the packages must have been split out? Then multilib *hacks* can be thrown away. Jon. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
