I agree with this. We cannot take options that mean something for a very long time and change it to mean something completely different. If you don't recognize the option at all, it is one thing (although that needs very good reasons for doing that) but changing semantics is just plain wrong. If that new behaviour is useful, make it as extra options. Rahul -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
