Yes. And iproute is not an exception. I remember a new iproute stopped
displaying IP addresses. And the bug was there for 14 days until I fixed
it.
Thanks Petr for your input. You seem to be the first one who understands
my concerns with "rebases" (as Fedora seems to call it) in stable
releases.
I really wish this topic wasn't as controversial as it appears to be.
Personall, I don't really care what Fedora's policy really is and I'm
fine following whatever it states. But the mere fact that it seems to
allow for interpretation to a point where it contradicts itself is not
only a bad sign, it most importantly for me makes it hard to follow.
Thanks, Phil
