Well, can't we automatically forbid to build a package, if the
version is higher
than the existing version in higher Fedora _base_ releases?
That would get in the way of a number of useful cases. For instance,
what if you try to launch builds for several branches in parallel, and
one of the back branches happens to execute first?
What I think would be useful would be to extend the broken-dependency
nagbot so that it also nags if you have a back-branch that's NVR-newer
than any later branch.
IOW: nag good, preventing people from doing their work bad.
