We don't need to rebuild all the packages, just the ones that have a requirement on nodejs(v8-abi), I think. Looking through a repoquery on Fedora (which has a lot more packages), we don't have any packages that explicitly don't work with v6, either) ``` dnf repoquery --whatrequires "nodejs(engine)" --requires \ | sort -u \ |grep "nodejs(engine)" ``` > I can imagine having two versions in Fedora (although I can't really see the > use > case), but having two node interpreters in EPEL means that one eventually > goes EOL. > Honestly, I think the reverse makes more sense. Fedora should only have a single version for each release, but EPEL should probably always carry both supported LTS releases if we can manage it. It will provide people with an opportunity to migrate on their own schedule. I don't love that we're forcing the 0.10.x -> 6.x jump here, but 0.10.x is going EOL, so we don't have a lot of choices.
