replacement is not always possible, especially if we start utilizing
new (actually 8 years old) features of RPM.
I'd really like to see us tend towards coming up with macros that
provide elegant fallbacks on EPEL. (The %license macro is a good
example.)
I get the frustration with older stuff holding us back, but we really
have a _lot_ of users who get value from doing so.
