No, I mean the above in general for general changes you make that affect the distro as a whole. You generally land them without notification. > The folks in question knew I would drop the patch.

Yes, and it looks like it affects dhcpd too... just because you notified one dev team on a single bug it's not the same as a wider announcement to the wider community. There's all sorts of things that this can affect, and while yes it may be a bug in their software, it should be as widely notified as possible. People have priorities that may not be the same as yours. > There is no news in all of this, I just removed the work-around now, as > indicated back then. Again, I'm not just referring to this single incident, it would be nice if you notified people widely of changes. It's a community, people don't all follow closely the upstream development of all upstream components. > How many months would you like me to notify people in advance of a > simple change like this? Isn't 6 month *ample* time? Likely not, not everyone has the same schedule as upstream systemd, in a lot of cases they don't know it's broken until things land and teams have other priorities. > How much time do you think is appropriate for fixing a file copy > routine in anaconda? 12 months? 18 months? 2 years? I'm not just referring to *just* anaconda. This is *one* thing, there's other things that might be broken by this. How long has /etc/resolv.conf been a file in that location? How many things across the distro expect it to be like it is? It's legacy and while I'm not against changing it there may be impact that isn't take into account. Bullying people/process/team just because "you've waited 6 months already" isn't an appropriate response just because you're impatient and want to move on. We're a community that doesn't revolved around systemd... sorry! > Also, NM fixed a similar issue with /etc/resolve.conf in their code a > long time ago, to my knowledge. Am I so misguided to assume that > Anaconda can fix a fricking file copy too, in all those months? To my knowledge there also looks to be issues with dhcp due to this change as of yesterday.... so maybe you don't have all the knowledge. What else might be affected in the distro according "to your knowledge"?
