It should also be part of policy to make sure that if Extras
packages are adopted into Core, that they upgrade existing FE
packages. In other words, up that Release if you're going to
rebuild, don't just rebuild.
This process should really just be one of courtesy and sanity. We
are happy to work with Red Hat employees, but it really looks bad
when Red Hat doesn't want to work with us.
