I also work to make my upstream aware of this kind of thing,
because
in their mind you just don't build a newer version if you have a game
in progress and that doesn't really mesh with how distros work. So
far they've been receptive and helpful.
If someone really wants new features, I'm happy to give them a koji
build they can install manually with the understanding that it breaks
their games. But overnight breakage of existing games is right out.
Not in that case - average user wants network gaming but w/o this
update it will be impossible AFAIK. So every player would need to get
and install Koji build.
