[EPEL-devel] Re: EPEL7 packages still in epel-testing

For context, until very recently, the EPEL guidelines explicitly asked packagers to disable time-based push on fully-compatible “minor release” type updates and let them sit indefinitely in testing until/unless they accrued +3 karma. The historical guidelines are mostly preserved on the wiki[1]. I’m not sure what that means in terms of how to handle these cases, but it does suggest that many of these lingering updates may reflect conscientious application of the guidelines at the time rather than maintainers simply losing track of updates.
