I'm inclined to agree, not JUST because it makes sense from an update perspective, but because it's the EXACT example used in that review exception guideline everyone keeps quoting.

I feel like it's an example for a reason. Nils, you keep saying (and even wrote in the Proposed Change doc), "I don't want to have to get a Python2 exception for a new gimp2 package". But the above quote /explicitly/ says you can ask the packaging committee to bless gimp2 as a simple rename for an existing package, in which case it's not subject to the normal package review or exception requirements. This. Exact. Situation. is even used as the prototypical example of why such exceptions would be sought! -- _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
