Sometimes it's the little things that bite you

• The coreutils upgrade was scary due to the amount of breakage willfully created by upstream. Thanks to scanning our source code and fixing bad calls early, breakage was thankfully minimal for us.

• But the day I removed /etc/redhat-release, is the day I broke a bunch of java that parsed this file to do custom things with fonts depending on the presence of that file.

• Whoever touched something last, is responsible for breakage.

• So you revert the change, fix the bug, and try again later.
