I believe a failure to upgrade from N-2 to N should not block the N release. The reason is limited resources, both for tests and for changes to fix problems. These resources are more valuable applied to the N release than to something two releases in the past. If someone wants to test a release-skipping upgrade, fine. Report problems? Sure. If someone wants to fix these problems, OK; if not, the policy should be "Upgrade one release at a time. Release-skipping upgrades may work, but are not guaranteed." If "upgrade N-2 -> N-1" works, and "upgrade N-1 -> N" works, then "upgrade N-2 -> N" also works, right? Maybe not, and I think it profligate to insist we fix a broken two-release upgrade when two single-release upgrades successfully reach the desired target. Document, do not block. I may hold a minority opinion, but this seems like another call for QA to do somebody else's job. Who should decide that release-skip upgrade is a Fedora imperative? -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
