The document does state that "Package maintainers MUST: {...} Avoid updates that are trivial or don't affect any Fedora users." The tough question is to define "trivial", and perhaps there may need to be some threshold of expected affected users before a patch is rolled out to everyone. There also is the philosophy for stable releases that "The update rate for any given release should drop off over time," which presumes that as bugfixes are added less future ones should be needed. (Not that everyone is working on the next release, which probably is also true.) -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
