That is correct. However, if the necessary QA votes get published before the timeout hits, the package will be released sooner. > > very self service project.

And by not contributing any QA yourself, you can not expect to get any QA besides what the original packager put into the release. Which is good enough if we can't get enough QA votes to release it before the proposed timeout hits. If it's not good enough for you, I suggest that you QA these packages yourself. -Dave -- fedora-legacy-list mailing list fedora-legacy-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
