Related to this, I noticed that many new packages are built for
development only, and not for FC-6, let alone FC-5. I think that
new packages should be built at least for FC-6, unless, of course,
there are dependency issues, such as the package depending on a newer
package from Core. Another way to look at it is this: if a new package
is in FC-6 (and FC-5), bugs are spotted much sooner.
