But Release MUST maintain the upgrade path from one release to the next.
No, that's just wrong.
The "upgrade path" (wrt/ NVRs) is no longer enforced across release boundaries.
AFAIK, all supported release-upgrade methods now use distro-sync or
something equivalent, so NVR-based "upgrade path" is just not
important any more.
