Hey, folks. So, just wanted to kick off a discussion regarding this
bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688305
The default update notification period has been changed for GNOME in F15
from 1 day to 1 week (security updates still get notifications
immediately). This is a change that's come from upstream, the GNOME
design team, who consider it a UI design issue. QA and FPL think this is
at least partly a distro policy issue as well as / more than a UI design
issue, and think we should consider whether we actually want to make
this change for Fedora, and if so whether we should have a different
update period for the pre-release cycle. QA certainly feels that 1 day
is more appropriate than 1 week during pre-release time.
Should we tie this with the Bodhi package acceptance criteria? e.g. on
stable releases, maintainers have to wait a week before packages can be
moved to the next stage, while in F-15 it's 3 days.
Then again, important fixes often get karma-promoted, and maybe we don't
want to make testers wait for the entire duration. But they can always
manually check for updates.
