In theory yes, but the real world is far messier than that. There are a few
packages that I maintain in EPEL because a package I needed depend on it,
but I don't use the functionality. So I know the package I use works but
I've never exercised/tested the functionality of the depended on package. I
wish that I had time for that to not be the case, but sadly that's just the
reality of the situation.

Oh, if there's negative karma I think it should be unpushed. I was
envisioning a scenario where there's zero karma.

Ideally that's the case, but I maintain several packages that I no
longer have the capacity to test on old RHEL versions :(
