huh. So, I see 62 bugs in f29/f30/f31 in the 4.13 components with '4.13
in them somewhere. Of those, 51 are abrt reports. It's usually pretty
difficult to track down abrt reports unless there's a clear reproducer.
Of the other 10, some are anoying, but nothing leaps out as a show
stopper to me at least. It's way too late in the f30 cycle to change
things back to 4.12.
Perhaps you could list the most important bugs you hit and we can see if
we can get some traction to fix them?
Hi Kevin,
This one is TOTALLY O-B-N-O-X-I-O-U-S!

These two will drive a non-technical user our of his mind:

And it does not seem like they are getting worked
on either. But, I presume that they are fixing them
in 4.14 as that is a better use of their scarce resources.

Nope. Thats up to when upstream releases it. Even if they released
today, final freeze for f30 is next tuesday.
Oh crap. I hope they get the issues with the upgrade fixed. When I
tried upgrading a f29 VM to 30 last week it slaughtered grub.
