I should probably add that the actual updater program has not been shipped in the rpms thus far. Although I'm not sure how this affects major updates, it is leading to problems elsewhere (i.e. people have to uninstall some apps on v13 and re-install them on v13.0.1 for them to work again).

And how many people actually still run NC v10?


Given the current status, I suggest you just ask FESCo to give you permission to release 13.x without supporting upgrades from 10.x and then submit a Magazine article explaining the situation once 13.x is landing. As far as the bundling question; that's actually fair game these days as long as your packages have a virtual `Provides: bundled(packagename) = <version>` in the specfile so if we needed to locate packages for security issues, it can be done. So if you wanted to package the intermediate versions(*) with bundled libs to get people through the upgrade, that's an option too.


+1 should be a nice changes for the F29 release.
