Does that even apply for a security update, as in this case? Seems a bit dangerous to me to announce to the world there is a security hole in a library, but by the way we won't be fixing it for at least a week. Obviously ideally a security fix wouldn't require an ABI/API change, but far too many upstreams don't follow the ideal world. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/IF6D5ICOH7T2WZMYBDFIFV62H4WL2HW3/
