There are a few exceptions. I do think RHEL is justified in moving
Firefox to FF3. The reason is twofold -
1) Firefox has a huge codebase. It would take extreme amount of man
power to continue to maintain FF 1.x without upstream.
2) The web evolves quickly, and a browser must keep in touch with
modern web innovations, particularly in the area of javascript and CSS
implementation.
A small addition here; RHEL does so by releasing a minor update to the
entire operating system (5.2) - so everyone knows to look for changes
like these. Is this something EPEL can do as well?
EPEL 5.1/nethack-3.4.3
EPEL 5.2/nethack-4.0 (for the right reasons)
Just a thought.
To be honest, I think it would be too much effort to keep separate
branches of EPEL for each point release just for the few cases where
there is a legitimate reason to update a package.
If a user doesn't want to upgrade to a point release, the user can add
nethack to their excludes for automatic updates.
