Correct. To solve the problem at the start of this thread, perhaps it
would make sense to pre-populate the buildsystem with the next point
release bits at the same time they're being staged for release, or
close to it, so that EPEL can on the same day of a point release claim
that they support that release. Just takes more cooperation between
EPEL leaders and Red Hat.
And excludes all those contributers and users that don't have a RHEL
license, as the resulting bits might lead to broken deps when one runs
"yum update" on a CentOS machine right now (¹) with EPEL which depends
on a lib that is shipped in the newly released RHEL update. Seems that's
the case in the mail that started this thread.
That would be totally unacceptable IMHO.
