"No apparent reason" translates to "everything is working > fine but it still hasn't been pushed". Things weren't working fine, and the > owner of the code was notified. What you really meant was "I don't know why > it hasn't been pushed." Please don't put words into my mouth. When I write "No apparent reason", it does not translate to that. It translates exactly to 'I don't know why it hasn't been pushed', and that is indeed the literal meaning of the words I wrote. I'm sorry if you didn't interpret them that way, but that was certainly not my intention. > Someone could just as well say "There are hundreds of updates in Bodhi that > have no QA feedback on them for no apparent reason." Someone could indeed say such a thing. People can say anything, as long as no-one else is exercising direct physical control over their vocal cords. =) I would say, however, that it would not be true, because the main reason (that we don't have enough testers to provide feedback on every update) has in fact been explained publicly multiple times. Thus this case is not, in fact, the same. > >It always seems a bit unfortunate when lots of stuff shuts down whenever > >it's a public holiday in the U.S. It's a bit of a dead giveaway that a > >lot of stuff is still performed only by Red Hat staff working in the > >U.S. Obviously that's not your problem, just an observation.

This case just happened to make me think about 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
