Thanks Petr for your input. You seem to be the first one who understands
my concerns with "rebases" (as Fedora seems to call it) in stable
releases.

I really wish this topic wasn't as controversial as it appears to be.
Personall, I don't really care what Fedora's policy really is and I'm
fine following whatever it states. But the mere fact that it seems to
allow for interpretation to a point where it contradicts itself is not
only a bad sign, it most importantly for me makes it hard to follow.

Thanks, Phil
