It doesn't benefit anyone to hold up the entire default desktop in updates-testing because Widget 234 in eog doesn't quite work right. I think it's right to allow an entire-GNOME update through as long as it more or less works. If we kept it in -testing until every niggling bug in every GNOME component was fixed...we probably wouldn't have GNOME 3.2 until 2014. =) F16 is still a *pre-release*, remember. We aren't expecting perfection at this point. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
