It's worse than that: it also trains repackagers to not be too quick on
the draw to adopt a mysql update release. I can tell you that new mysql
updates don't get into Fedora, let alone RHEL, till they've been around
at least a month or two. That's not laziness on my part; that's the
burnt child shunning the fire.
