that is not my point
my point is when i make a bugreport for F15/F16 why it is first built for F17, notified and a day later built for F16 (FAIR after a additional comment from me that i need a F16 build which does no longer appear)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548#c46 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806548#c51
the reporter has usually not F17 in this case, so he can not confirm if this build will fix the problem and taking critical packages from koji does really not each reporter - please honor people who are doing
There may be any number of reasons for this:
* Maintainer is doing additional testing to make sure the update doesn't cause problems to the older stable release.
* Maintainer may be waiting for some additional patches/fixes to land so the update can include all of them as well as that fix.
* A new upstream release may be pending, and the maintainer may want to wait and push that.
I'd suggest being polite and understanding and simply note that you are still waiting for an update for an older release. There are sometimes good reasons not to simply push the same change to all branches and update them at the same time.
