Space saving is nice, but that's not the real issue. It's a given that all security libraries will have critical and urgent vulnerabilities sometime in the future. By reducing the number of libraries in use in the base system, we reduce the surface area. This is particularly important where we have cascading artifacts built on a base — if the bottom changes, there's a lot of churn. -- 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
