Point taken, but it doesn't justify blocking the package from distribution just because you don't know what security vulnerabilities it has. You could say that about any number of other packages in Fedora. Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
