The cut images will always remain stagnant, the rpms not changing. So
long as we allow updates to previous releases to be n-v-r higher than
the GA versions of the next release, we will always have a broken
upgrade path from N-1+updates to N.
I've always assumed that we're supposed to try and not break the
upgrade path for (N-1+updatesForN-1) to (N+updatesForN). Is that not
the case?
Are you suggesting some distro release level super epoch?
I've often wondered why we don't have such a thing, but I've always
noticed that discussions around these sorts of ideas usually become a
bit of a flame fest.
