If we used editoral I don't think it is true. The truce is that many developers are ignorant about ABI/API compatibility and don't even try to design API sanely. Now this could be optimal in some sense, given that it is not a very fun work, but the 'heavy development' is not the reason. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
