The reason yum upgrades are not supported is *specifically* to leave open the possibility of doing significant changes that are not compatible with yum upgrades, if the significant change has a large enough benefit to be worth the pain of breaking the yum upgrade path. Ergo you can't simply state that 'anything that breaks yum upgrade is unacceptable'. Or else we'd support yum upgrades. You have to make a more subtle argument taking into account the balance between the benefits of the proposed feature and the drawback of making yum upgrade more difficult (it's rarely actually the case that a major feature makes a yum upgrade *entirely impossible*: it's usually more that you have to jump through some manual hoops to make it work, and that appears to be the case here). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
