I was thinking along the same lines, but I think I'd prefer: It must be possible to successfully complete an upgrade from a clean, fully updated default installation of the previous stable Fedora release, using any officially recommended upgrade mechanism. The upgraded system must meet all release criteria. I just like it more that way around, still. I'm also favouring 'officially recommended' over 'officially supported' because, let's be honest, our 'support' for upgrades is pretty nominal (the testing that backs this criterion is pretty much the extent of our 'support'). It's a bit bikeshed-y I know, in the end I'd be okay with either. -- 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
