Thanks for the explanation, although I honestly don't see how that could come to unison with the kernel updates applied to stable versions. Any new version could break existing functionality (although not intended), so that "should" seems to be key.
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
