Will this also allow more significant upgrades of EPEL packages between

That is the purpose if the package maintainer and their consumers want it.
Ok. I ran into an issue on EPEL 7 where I needed to update a package so it could work with a package that was part of a Review Request. Then I found out someone was using my library as part of validated software they were developing. Lesson learned the hard way. Assuming this goes through I will be able to update on point releases and they can chose whether to update their whole system or not, in which case they would have to revalidate anyway.
Thanks, Richard
