Right. Meaning:
(1) I can't install these on a client site--unless I can either convince
the client to pay me to D/L, build, and install SRPMs, or I volunteer
to do so gratis (not).
(2) I can get "fresher" patched (but untested) source distros from the parent
organization, if I have to build from source anyway. So RPM is junked.
