Oh, I idn't know that.  So I'll have to set up extras account sooner or later. 
Good to know.

Well, that will turn out.  The whole point of providing compat flex is that the
changes between 2.5.4 and 2.5.33 were very internal, and there are lots of them.
 I don't want to be stuck with the same ancient version of flex forever, .33 has
interesting features, and people are requesting it for some time already.  But
on the other hand, I don't dare upgrade without a fallback.  So some components
actually may end up with BuildRequires: compat-flex, although this should be
rare, and hopefully temporary.
