Another great update

All Koji builds are done using the same packages in the repository.
eg., if Fedora has GCC x.y then GCC x.y is used to built the entire
Fedora tree. Suddenly bumping a GCC version will cause a lot of builds
to fail. Or if the new GCC is placed in a "separate" repository then
the tree won't be built using it and it won't be that well tested.

Does 6 months not count as "as soon as possible"?

Often "new and shiny" can mean "new bugs". That is what makes Rawhide
(or today's F13) what it is. Some say it is unstable, some say it eats
babies. But it is definitely "new". :-)
