Cool, thanks for that link. Sorry, I should've been clearer - I was talking at the triage level, not the filing level. I don't mean to have a policy you have to read when filing a bug, as you say, it makes most sense to file most stuff at distro level and have someone involved with the distro make the decision what to shovel upstream. I meant whether we have a policy for the shovellers, or they just have basic guidelines and use their judgment. -- adamw -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
