Eric Yang commented on AMBARI-10472:
------------------------------------

Nate, the compatibility of software stack should not be tracked in Ambari.  
Rather, software stack dependency compatibility can be tracked by repositories 
metadata themselves by distro signing package.  Ambari needs to have the 
recipes and version tracking outside of Ambari to avoid having to run Ambari 
upgrade each time that software stack needs to be upgraded.  Today, upgrade 
stack of software is tightly coupled with Ambari upgrade.  It would be nice if 
software stack upgrade can be decoupled from Ambari upgrade.  This JIRA is 
going in the tightly couple direction, which I think, is a suboptimal solution.
