Fedora is not responsible for upgrade problems with,
flash, skype or anything else not in fedora* .repos
I understand officially (legally) that is the stance, but I always find
this kind of response rather unproductive. Is Fedora a community driven
distro or not? We cannot boast on that in release notes, and then on a
user request for help repeat what you say above. Community repos like
RPMfusion are part of the bigger Fedora community and serve a very
important role.
In the least, there could be a section in the FAQ, or release notes to
deal with these kind of "community repo out-of-sync" problems.
Confession: I did not check if such information exists; if it does, the
OP can be directed there for more info.
