> 2) The package maintainers introduced this early on in the F12 lifecycle. That no one caught it and complained is a fault of the lifecycle, not the maintainers.
Question: did official release notes of Fedora 12 (i.e. on the day it came out) have information about this or not?

No. If you read Owen Taylor's mail, that has been made explicit. A release note update pushed as soon as soon as we were aware of the changes needed to revert it.

Right. I think that may be half the problem here. If it was in release notes, more people would pick it up before the release.

Yeah, that's the thing I wasn't sure of, whether there actually was something in the notes or not, because the documents are on the web and they are subject to change. I don't remember seeing anything, but I didn't read every single line (I upgraded a few days before the official release).
Thanks for the confirmation.
