We do, but in general, it's a better idea to have a git checkout, update
it regularly, and build your lives from that. That's how the production
lives are built - they're always built from the tip of the relevant git
branch, not from the packaged version. The packaged version gets updated
when someone remembers to do it.
Chuckle, chuckle :-D
Well, I have been using git repositories more and more so why not one more.
However, this generic/fedora release package selection problem is going
to be a bit of a pain for all kickstart users who have their own
"handcrafted" kickstart files. If another solution cannot be done, then
I suggest this be well documented in the Fedora 21 release notes.
