If someone is running an EL-5 cobbler server and is using koan on EL-4
(or vice versa) sometimes I need to update them both to reflect an API
change. If both are set to yum update, the client and server can't
talk to each other.
Just a general note/reminder, I don't use cobbler/koan myself nor know really
anything about them and maybe this is already being observed with their
updates:
Intrusive updates like the one described above should be done only for good
reasons:
