Isn't the goal to maximize the ratio of potential benefit to potential detriment with each update? How do we help individual maintainers get a good handle on that ratio? And how do we guage if there is a problem in some area in the repository with regard to this goal? It's pretty difficult to make a relative comparison from one software stack to another for different components and know whose doing better at keeping the ratio maximized. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
