No. Why would you say that? First, 4.0.x is not outdated from where I'm
sitting and second, we've updated the packaged nVidia drivers in RPM
Fusion for F29 to 415 already.

If you're trying to say we can upgrade 4.0.x to 4.1.x without
recompiling any dependent packages and you guarantee everything will
work just like with 4.0.x, then I would be willing to entertain that
option, though we try to avoid upgrading base system components in the
middle of a release cycle.

Regards,
Dominik

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
