Are you kidding?

Fedora 21 -- when released -- will be affected by the problem in the same
way it has been with all older releases of Fedora.

Packages in Fedora 21 + Updates MUST be "newer than" anything available
for older dist releases. With "anything" including updates-testing. If that
were accomplished, dist upgrades would work much better. Users would never
find packages in Fedora 21, which are "older than" updates for older dist
releases.

Not even mirror propagation times are considered so far. In some cases
where updates for the latest dist release are still pending, people believe
everything will be fine "with the next push", but actually it can take
quite some time (days!) for the packages to be mirrored.
