No, there is no FEA/BMC needed, unless you are trying to make a major change, like introduce a new major feature or whatever, this needs to be justified in many ways. Also, jumping versions is not always a good thing for all packages, so we this needs to be reviewed and tested properly, we do not want to break Trunk completely just because of incompatible changes introduced in new versions. > > If this is for all packages it should be announced clearly so people would > just upgrade to the latest version in the very beginning of MeeGo 1.3 so we > would have more time to fix the possible regressions/compile errors. > This is for all packages, we are expecting changes to toolchain/rpm/middle ware/boot process/X11, so it is across the board.
