I'm thinking of taking a different approach with F12 0-day GA updates.
Luke was kind enough to create a script that gave me the number of 0-day
updates for F11, and break them down by type. We had 630 total 0-day updates.
Of those:
12 were security
238 were bugfix
132 were enhancements
248 were new packages
So approx 40% of the total 0-day updates were fixing some form of a bug if the
update type classification used is accurate. Which means 60% of them were
"WHEE NEW STUFF!"
I know that our mirrors get pounded on release day already, so I'd like to
propose that we only push bugfix and security updates for 0-day. We could
phase the rest of them in over the course of the next week or so.
Perhaps this isn't really worthwhile, as it might just be a tiny drop in
the ocean of stuff the mirrors have to deal with. So I'd like to get some
thoughts on this from the rest of you before I/we take any sort of proposal
to FESCo for this.
