I don't thing there is so much updates that change behaviour, see firefox, thunderbird, kopete, .... usually there are only new features with old functionality intact. What I wrote was not a rule, there is always a lot of space for maintainer's decission. > rawhide is not to F-n as debian unstable is to debian testing. > > F-n is not to F-(n-1) as debian testing is to debian stable. no, but I think rawhide is to F-n as debian unstable is to debian stable. What I wrote as an example was expecting all versions in F-x are stable not that one version is more stable than another one. That delay was only for being "really sure" package is stable, because there are not too much users testing updates-testing packages if it's not new firefox/kernel/... but after a two weaks in F-n any package is tested quite well -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
