Hum...
Afaik I know the final freeze was "Tue 2009-04-14"
This meeting was held 10 day's later..
And as is mentioned in final freeze policy
" The purpose of the final freeze is to prevent changes while the
release is prepared"
I would categories this as an significant change.
"As of the final freeze for a release, no new builds are allowed for
packages already in the Fedora collection
(new packages can still be reviewed, added in CVS and built as potential
updates)"
And I would think that the other application would have to follow the
above procedure and be built as potential update.
I must be misunderstanding something which is not the first time nor the
last :(
Well, as I said, just look at what actually happens. The policy is
clearly not honored. Look back at the rawhide compose reports since
2009-04-14, and see the changes yourself.
It's a bit hard to cite this policy as an objection to just *one*
change, while hundreds of other fly by unchallenged.
