Can you give an example of where you've seen this? Because our
policies in Fedora forbid changing a default stream in a released
Fedora. There were a couple exceptions around Java/Maven and libgit2
in the past due to their default streams being broken
Sorry, but I don't remember this as "their default streams being
broken". AFAIR, there were multiple applications trying to use different
version of libgit2 at the same time which is not possible. That is
problem of modules design, not problem of the specific default stream as
you put it.
Vít
and causing
issues, but other than those extreme cases, this should never happen
in a stable release. (On Rawhide, that's a different story and if
that's what you're describing, that's a known issue and is being
tracked as part of the upgrade path work.)
