It's the (somewhat) more agile component in that it can be changed with less downstream dependencies, fewer worries about deployment on infrastructure, etc. > But couldn't the Koji API grow a new parameter, which would be used > for specifying how many versions of each package to get at most? It certainly could. However, Koji's concept of 'newer' is (IIRC) entirely tied to build time/tag time in the repo, not NVR. So it may not be what we want.
