Hello, I still think smaller changes might be better propagated using bodhi system. I know severity is used usually for security updates. But can we make more user-friendly summaries of enhancement updates? I think it might be sorted by severity and list only enhancement or newpackage type updates. Then we could make a nicer summary page with smaller, but still important changes. I think not only new packages are interesting. But a good place describing improvements in existing package in compact enough format is something I miss.
What if we make summary for all enhancement updates, putting first high-severity updates. That might be rebases including new functionality for example, which might be useful to users. If only small feature would be added, maintainer may choose medium or low severity. It may generate monthly summaries without much additional work for maintainers. If upstream has a good documentation or blog, it might be sufficient just few bullets with hyperlink to upstream article introducing that features. I think often separate Fedora article would not be required. But do we have any better overview of changes targeted to end-users? I am not aware of anything good myself. I think bodhi enhancement is already not bad [1]. Could we propagate it a bit? Should those updates also include links to Fedora Changes explicit articles? Could we highlight those referencing them with higher 'importance'? If we would be able to hide minor improvements, I think it could pretty interesting for checking upcoming releases.
