Even if the "better policy" is essentially just a new interpretation of a (still) ambiguous, kind of self conflicting standard, and would in some cases mean knowingly breaking existing perfectly well working setups on upgrades? I don't think I can agree with that. What I can agree with is applying the new interpretation to newly introduced packages, and after the ambiguity in the specification has dissolved and the new interpretation been in practice for quite a while without no pressure to change it again in sight, only then inflicting the breakage, loud and clear, unless no other migration path is found. -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
