I understand the path of least resistance with upgrades. They're better off being upgraded, even if they silently have sale bits no longer upgraded. From a security perspective, I think being silent about that is not great. But what I'm getting at is not an upgrade that gets them a system nearly identical to a clean install, but rather removing things that really should be removed. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
