Fedora security updates are regularly given no testing and are pushed directly to stable. Perhaps you should classify your updates with a severity of security. Why should you abuse the system? Because the system is abusing you. While I (and Kevin!) agree that testing is useful, as I became more involved after the dbus debacle, the freedom of packagers to handle their packages freely should be maintained. The recent upswing in policies and requirements is clouding Fedora's vision. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
