This is not a change that Fedora made. This is a change that went through all the normal upstream channels that *any* change to glibc goes through. All users of glibc are effected. And yes, this is one of the most fundamental parts of the entire system, copying memory. It effects almost every GNU/Linux user in the entire world.

If it broke things, it would turn up quickly.

If you think this change is untested, you don't understand how open source works.

So far, the only proven breakage is the 64-bit flash plugin.

In short, provide proof, or its just a lot of talk.
