Comment 7 Vincent Danen 2010-03-08 18:21:47 UTC
Fedora 11 is still supported.  Why is this closed when no update for F11 was released?

Comment 8 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-03-09 07:09:04 UTC
It has a low security impact, but if it's needed I can backport it also into F-11.

Comment 9 Vincent Danen 2010-03-09 15:18:14 UTC
I wasn't aware that we didn't do updates for the oldest supported release if the issue was low impact.  Is that a policy or guideline set somewhere?  If it is, then don't worry about it, but it if isn't then we should probably do it.  We've often done low impact updates for the oldest supported release.

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Comment 10 Marcela Mašláňová 2010-03-09 16:09:19 UTC
If you put it this way. I'll backport it.

Comment 12 Vincent Danen 2010-03-09 16:31:01 UTC
Thank you, Marcela.  I'll have to hunt on the Fedora wiki to see if there are any policies regarding what gets pushed and where.  Maybe it's worth discussing whether low impact issues should be done for the N-1 release.  Regardless, thank you for this.
