Many people are going to just pull updates. They aren't going to make a decision on their own. Security updates aren't all created equal. While the case that was referenced in this was easily remotely exploitable, not all security issues expose a system to that level of risk. > The optimal case is to provide well tested security updates fast, but > this is not what Fedora achieves.

But I don't think changing the goal to untested security updates provided quickly is the preferred solution. Perhaps we should have a way to draw attention to high priority updates. Generally we need more testers and need to make them more efficient. (Test plans for packages can make testing more efficient and accurate.) -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
