Unfortunately, we do not have enough people doing QA for the model to work. Each time I run fedora-easy-karma on branched, I have the feeling to see always the same names ( ie, you and kevin ). I would be interested to see some stats about this, because the difference between a unused software and one who have no bug is thin. And I am doubting that changing the release model will suddenly make people do QA. -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
