Uh, we'd have the resources to push KDE upgrades to Fn-1 just fine (see 4.2
for F9, 4.3 for F10 and 4.4 for F11). It's not that much work to build the
stuff we're building for Fn anyway also for Fn-1.
It's the new unnecessarily paranoid QA we don't seem to have the resources
for. We already test our KDE upgrades very hard. But most of that testing
will be on Fn (and Fn+1). The packages we push to Fn-1 would be the exact
same ones, just rebuilt!
Nothing I would back up without learning about the _details_,
please.
How to determine when to blame the package maintainer? What would your
rule set look like?
Common sense! But that seems to be lacking in Fedora circles lately. :-(
