I'm a little confused as to what that means. Bruno's suggestion seems to be that the updated will be pushed in a month or so. How does that help anyone? The online gamers probably want it now. The solo-players don't want it at all. How will it help to delay anything a month? That just makes no-one happy. If I need to be hit with an unwanted update, I might as well get it now as in a month. I still vote no (and have already blacklisted Wesnoth updates until this thread is resolved), but if it's decided to push an update the breaks savegames, I fail to see what is won by waiting a month. My understanding has always been that within the same Fedora release, I should expect to be able to do updates without anything breaking functionality. To me, this feels like pushing a major version of, say, gnumeric, that wouldn't read my old files; and doing so mid-Fedora-release.
