"newer packages"

I think this could eventually end badly, because if we did something
like openoffice.org31 and openoffice.org32 comes out and now requires
some dependency of a lib that is older in EL5 than is needed, now we
have foolib32 to maintain, etc. (purely hypothetical example, but just
something that comes to mind).

I just think we could put ourselves in a weird dependency chasing
situation down the line.
