Here's a wrinkle on this. When this is the case upstream, we almost certainly want to provide some stream following that, but we may also want to provide a more cautious stream. That could be either pinning to an older release or snapshot and backporting selected fixes, or it could simply mean a stream which updates to get those selected fixes but on a slower cadence and not automatically. One package I maintain has fairly frequent point releases, but those are generally extremely trivial bugfixes affecting very little real world use. It would be easy to have a "stable" stream which opts to not pick these up for cases where reduced churn is more important than the obscure fixes. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ 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
