If this is true then it's a rather huge change that should be announced
pretty loudly. After all, if we no longer care about ordering between
releases, then we are able to both drop Epoch: tags and remove the
extraneous 'c' from the dist tag. (With the slight caveat that rawhide
users need to use distro-sync at some point.)
Even if we drop the policy as a blocker, I think we should still have a
general policy that, absent a "fixing the epoch problem" issue, people get
_warnings_ when they've updated on order release to newer than the newer
one.
Maybe bodhi is the right place for that? Dunno.
