I also thought about this problem: I usually read news items before |
30 |
updating, but I have also seen how other people with root access to |
31 |
other machines I mainly maintain forget from time to time to do so. |
32 |
|
33 |
This is why I opened: |

As news items are really there to be read BEFORE updating, I think that |
37 |
it should be enforced to prevent people from updating before reading |
38 |
them (I have also read Lars comment, I obviously have no problem at all |
39 |
with adding some option to revert this behavior, but I still think |
40 |
default behavior should be to prevent update if news items are not |
41 |
read). |
