Even in the specific case you outline above you are supposed to notify upstream developers about the problem yourself. Because if you don't, and if the user does not report the problem upstream, the product *you* ship might remain broken. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
