Yes, completely agreed. But I'd like to avoid a deadlock where packages

special solutions).
I am not completly convinced, shouldn't the solution be found in fedora
rather than in EPEL?
And nobody pays us for the job, so I suspect most
people won't yell at us when we say "okay, we had to update foo to
version bar which break ABI and API because backporting the security fix
was to hard"
It is not the point, in my opinion. The point is if we can be almost sure
that a package will bring in some problems we want to avoid, then we
should avoid it. What is unclear to me is what we want to avoid.
