I'm a little confused as to what that means.

Bruno's suggestion seems to be that the updated will be pushed in a
month or so. How does that help anyone?

The online gamers probably want it now. The solo-players don't want it
at all. How will it help to delay anything a month? That just makes
no-one happy. If I need to be hit with an unwanted update, I might as
well get it now as in a month. I still vote no (and have already
blacklisted Wesnoth updates until this thread is resolved), but if
it's decided to push an update the breaks savegames, I fail to see
what is won by waiting a month.

My understanding has always been that within the same Fedora release,
I should expect to be able to do updates without anything breaking
functionality. To me, this feels like pushing a major version of, say,
gnumeric, that wouldn't read my old files; and doing so
mid-Fedora-release.

Best,
