Just to display the stats on this a bit better, for FC6/x86_64
repoquery returns the following stats for core and extras:
core (number of packages vs epoch value)
2499 0
267 1
44 2
5 3
8 4
7 5
26 6
9 7
4 8
6 9
12 12
6 14
10 30
27 50
1 51
extras (number of packages vs epoch value)
3865 0
75 1
7 2
3 6
1 7
So, indeed extras really has been well disciplined! That is not to say
anything against the core packagers, some epochized packages there
have an ancient legacy, and some go back to times where the epoch
problem wasn't as well perceived as today. Although epochs over 15/20
make one shudder. ;)
