I'm not entirely sure why you think we need to postpone this, since 1) branching is the *early* part of the cycle, not the late part and 2) Koji is already doing bootstrap builds now, explicitly because of BDB being dropped in Fedora 34. We accepted the Fedora 33 Change with the premise you were going to drop in Fedora 34. Reverting to enabling the rw BDB backend is pretty straightforward, so I still suggest that you actually *still* do it now and file a release note issue about it being dropped in F34. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
