Shoot, not just for every value of "I", for every combination of "I"
and
"this system". I have RHEL/CentOS systems where customer X wants new
PHP but old MySQL, and customer Y wants stable PHP but new MariaDB.
This is actually where I think COPR and Fedora merge nicely. The Fedora
build/release model lends itself a bit easier to the fewer updates model. The
COPR build model lends itself to having the latest version of a package
available for all releasees. I'm starting to make use of this myself by
building certain packages that I want up to date everywhere in COPR and
enabling those repos on my systems.
