kdemultimedia-extras.spec isn't used at all, it's now a subpackage of 
kdemultimedia.

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi kdemultimedia-extras

It went through updates-testing as requested by the process, why did nobody 
file a bug for the file conflicts? IMHO it's really not fair to blame Than 
here.

Also note that it has only been broken for 2 weeks for those who use 
updates-testing, the update only went to updates 1 week ago. So those who 
already had the breakage for 2 weeks deserve it. (If you use updates-TESTING, 
you're supposed to actually TEST things, which implies FILING BUGS when they 
break.)

But that won't create upgrade path problems anymore when everything will use 
Bodhi, the updates will just not go out for any branch other than devel.

That's bad, but has nothing to do with Bodhi, F7 or the Core-Extras merge.
