It's about yearly or every other Fedora release. Or twice during the RHEL release cycle. We do want to support upgrading from FC<N> to FC<N+2> starting with N=5, so it is definitely within our range. Otherwise the transition from FC6 to F7 would had cost *all* python modules to be forked on the specfile level. There is no need to do so by just using the disttag. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
