I said it as darn example... Imagine situation where you have working ffmpeg-1.2 for all distros and you start migrating to ffmpeg-2.0 completely. At first unless you convert all packages to depend on some ffmpeg_1_2 you will get build breakages, but this way you can keep ffmpeg-2.0 only in :Factory repo where the fixes are done and propagated to older repos and after everything is done you just SR# the ffmpeg also to older branches. But I am not saying we should do that. I am just saying it is possible. Main thing to tackle is the linking of external packages from build.opensuse.org.
