Right, KDE on Fedora is more like a rolling release. TBH, this is something of a luxury because none of the Editions are dependent on KDE. If Workstation were KDE-based, I'd be inclined to push back against the practice. I don't think anyone said we want the GNOME updates to "age" for six months. What I'm saying is that the release model allows us to provide a new shiny version quickly after the upstream release, but users get to choose if they want it right now. If we did this by putting a big GNOME update into updates-testing, a) people would have to opt into getting testing updates to get it, or do the even more advanced thing of cherry-picking from the updates repo, and b) once having done that, would presumably get all future updates to that stack through updates-testing, and c) if there's a fix to the older GNOME, we wouldn't have a way to provide it. -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
