what my desktop looks like tomorrow. Just so I'm clear, if we had
implemented what you are proposing... Fedora 11, Fedora 12, Fedora 13
branched and rawhide would all be identical right now as far as package
version numbers go?
No, because there are updates that, e.g. require manual intervention, or
are more likely to break a lot of stuff. These would make the difference
between the releases. E.g. an update from KDE3 to KDE4 should only
happen from a Fedora release to another, but an update from KDE 4.x.y to
4.x.y+1 would be ok. Maybe even from 4.x.y to 4.x+1.z, but I am not that
familiar with KDE upgrades. Or postgres updates are a kind of updates
that afaik require manual intervention, therefore they should also only
happen from release to release. There was a good list about criteria
for good updates somewhere in the thread, I can try to find it again if
you want.
