- ****************
- RELEVANT DETAILS
- ****************
- 
- - The package's affected versions are the 7.0.3 based.
- 
- - Dave Anderson at
- <http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash.changelog.html> said that some
- commands, most notably "bt", don't work yet.
+ [Regression Risk]
+ With Ming's proposed backport, risk is low because it only touches code built on arm64. Since crash was useless before, can't get much worse :)
