Well, it means the ones in now are the ones we will try and stick with

This is what I fear the most.... but waiting might not make it any better.
Maybe a better strategy would have been to not mass branch any EPEL packages
or to tell people *not* to build unless they were at the stage that they
were ready to support for the next 7 years whether or not it had a branch.
