So should we file reports in Red Hat's bugzilla or lobby you to make an exception in this case? ;-) The current system (64-bit browser) breaks things and requires manual intervention to get things working. If you stop building Firefox for 64-bit architectures, yum will fall back to the 32-bit versions which work, meaning that no manual intervention will be required. -David
