What I'm saying is that even if we were doing that, and even if it were to have exposed the problem with F12, there was no way to properly fix it. We're stuck with it. I don't think the updates involved do anything *wrong*, exactly, they just expose a flaw in PK. So we can't send the updates back to sender with a note attached that says 'fix it'. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
