[Foresight-devel] Re: Foresight 1.x Plans

[Ken VanDine]

My hope would be to redirect the groups in fl:1 to fl:2 shortly after
2.0 is released... which i hope is before GNOME 2.22 :)

So, with the groups redirected, users will automatically move to fl:2
when they update, so no need in providing security updates.  However, we
will really need to see how that plays out in practice.  Once we get to
beta1, I will create a duplicate of group-dist=fl:1 in my own project to
test updateall with the group redirect.
