That said, from observing the build reports, it seems as if a lot of
people are pushing new upstream releases of their packages into the
current version of EPEL (updates, not the new builds). It doesn't seem
that all of these updates are in harmony with the update policies.
I realize that probably very few will care if I end up pushing my
update to 4.5 and 5.0, and nothing will break; but is this the right
thing to do?
I don't know the answer for sure, but I think you are asking the right
question. I haven't been watching the builds for enforcement. Do we
need to do that? Are we going to be constantly reminding people not to
wantonly update in EPEL?
We need to resolve this before we suddenly have a broken, sodden mess
due to people following this policy differently.
