What is "too much disturbance"? Who says that what for you is peripheral isn't extremely important for the next gal? There is a saying around here, "Ley pareja no es dura" (Evenhanded law isn't hard), and (unless there is a /very/ strong reason to make a difference) I'd prefer handling everything the same way. Cuts down on endless bickering why something or other isn't in the other set, and what the rules to belong in each group should be, and flaming over the (inevitable) mistakes adding a package to the wrong group or handling it according to the wrong set of rules. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 2654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 2654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile 2340000 Fax: +56 32 2797513 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
