> Setting up "official" backport repo will avoid repos fragmentation.
Another repository/branch inside Fedora infrastructure does not
automatically avoid the any of the potential problems that you would
want to lump into "repo fragmentation." You'd have to take great care
in crafting packing policy to prevent any repository interaction
problems concerning dependency chains, conflicts,obsoletes, parallel
installation, upgrade paths, etc.
> Keeping all cool updates in one place appears to be a reasonable idea.
Define cool.
Firefox 4, Postgres 9, Cherokee 2, OpenOffice 4, Duke Nukem Forever
Does this mean that uncool updates would be excluded as
a matter of policy?
Yes. Most users don't care about libfoo 1.6.54 -> libfoo 1.7.0 upgrade.
I'm not sure we all live in a world where a PostgreSQL 9 backport
is _cool_.
It's cool if you have strange problems with PgPool
