Since the changes from test4 is supposed to be minimal, there is plan 
discussed on the last Fedora QA meeting on "supporting" updates from 
test4 to the general release of Fedora 7 to see how well this works out 
in practice. Reverts to an earlier version might be handled using epochs 
if they are really required.
