Ok. I ran into an issue on EPEL 7 where I needed to update a package so it could work
with a package that was part of a Review Request. Then I found out someone was using my
library as part of validated software they were developing. Lesson learned the hard way.
Assuming this goes through I will be able to update on point releases and they can chose
whether to update their whole system or not, in which case they would have to revalidate
anyway.
Correct, and they can also grab the old version out of archives and do
what they want versus dig through koji to find it.
Thanks,
Richard
