It lets maintainers believe to have fixed something (which they actually did "Fedora upstream"), while getting away with ignoring a bug for releases < rawhide. In many cases, it causes maintainers to believe to have fixed something, while they actually didn't fix it, and to forget about it over time. Worse, from a user's POV, FIXEDRAWHIDE lets appear maintainers as "negligent/ignorant/arrogant" and Fedora as "poorly maintained/second class distro", which is pushing around users when they actually are affected by a bug. If I were to decide, I'd abandon "FIXEDRAWHIDE". Ralf -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
