Doing it this way means it is guaranteed 100% incompatible between versions, NFS etc. will be a giant pain for a lot of users. Would it not be possible to change the behaviour to be more compatible (Eg. assign the first 99 from 499-400, and then move to 999)? It seems like a big price to pay to go from "you may be affected" to "we guarantee we've it". -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
