Indeed. If we push as updates things we normally wait for releases for, would that disrupt our users? Is there a cutoff of things we would push in updates? For example, we usually do mass rebuilds of the entire collection of packages when new gcc/etc are ready, would we do that as a update in a stable release? We could solve the rolling changes issue by requiring all major changes to be modular and not enable the new module (ie, gnome 3.32 releases in f30, in 6 mmonths 3.34 comes out, we enable it as a new module, users can choose to switch to if they want, or stay on 3.32 if they ignore it or don't want to right then). That won't help for tool changes tho. kevin
