(If I update package A to this version, do things still work.) They want the playground to be the same as what's in epel, or you don't know if it breaks because of the version of package A, or if it's the build enviroment. 2 - A place that package maintainers and epel admins, can see if updates to the build system break things. This would be where we have -streams as a build environment, and things like that.
