So, the good news: the RH BZ team has kindly extended the alias limit to 40 characters for us. The bad(ish) news: with RHBZ's careful and considered development cycle, the change won't be live until May. So we'll probably stick with these names for F19, and go to FreezeException on the versioned bugs with F20. -- 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
