If you read the IRC logs and not just the summary, this was all laid out there. It is part of the background in the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877623#c13 > And what is even > worse, the whole problem of not verifying packages on upgrade or the > upgrade image itself is not even prominently communicated.

What would've been the point of writing it into the release notes if FESCo had said 'this has to be fixed before we release F18'? You nominated the bug as requiring a release note on 29th November, then complained that it wasn't in the release notes on 7th December - basically you gave the docs team about a week of turnaround time, which isn't a heck of a lot with a release with as many changes as F18. -- 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
