Probably it was considered unimportant or a source of "spam". That's a problem with stuff that isn't backed up or enforced by project leadership. When I started to run it manually after some time prior to the next release of Fedora, the number of negative voices was overwhelming: Those with test updates newer than rawhide complained. Those with F-[n-1] test updates newer than F-[n] complained. Those with pending updates in bodhi complained. Those who found it helpful stayed silent. From those, who didn't understand the private mails they received, only a very few asked for an explanation. Recently I've seen a comment somewhere that Josh Boyer seems to have a similar but different script somewhere. I don't know how it differs. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
