Dear fellow testers,

   I know this has been mentioned before, but I can't seem to understand why the change.

1) I was used to seeing the missing deps or build failures at the end, now they are at the beginning :(.  If I remember correctly David (Boles) responded in a message to why was this changed, but I missed it completely as my mind was somewhere else at the time.  

At first since before these

Broken deps for i386
----------------------------------------------------------

****

were listed at the end so I tried to update and apply the new updates, when I saw this before, I knew that there were no updates :), but now the updates are listed below these broken deps :(, so I do have to scroll down to see if there are updates.  On three machines which I run rawhide, I did not update in several days because of this, but then I saw a question regarding a 2.6.31 kernel(has been released upstream and also apparently released on a rawhide report this week), because of this I missed it :(

Q) Why were the broken deps moved to the top?

It confused me and I now have to see the size of the message to see if it is more than normal when there are no updates.

I got used to seeing NEW PACKAGES, then the updated packages and at the end the Broken deps report, now I see the Broken Deps, the new packages and the updated packages below.  Why the change and all of a sudden?

If there was an announcement about this, I totally missed it and I accept responsibility for the confusion :)

Regards,

Antonio
