Could you refer me to the place where this policy is stated? The only reference I can find that might allude to it is item 3 on this page: http://fedora.redhat.com/about/objectives.html Woudn't it be better to simply stop pushing SELinux updates to older versions rather then continuing to apply new and possibliy incompatible features of the newer release? > If you want a more stable > tree with backported fixes, then use RHEL. We can't afford RHEL. If updating installed Fedoras is going to cause them to become unstable after a new version release, we'll have no choice but to migrate to another OS.
