I had an email from a user who was a bit confused as to why a package was updated for EL-5 and not EL-4.

Updating both on the same day would perhaps resolve this.

(The quick answer is to just use EPEL testing, though I think that would reduce confusion and be a bit easier to follow)

Actually I have an example of how this (not updating in parallel) can break folks.

If someone is running an EL-5 cobbler server and is using koan on EL-4 (or vice versa) sometimes I need to update them both to reflect an API change. If both are set to yum update, the client and server can't talk to each other.

In fact, this is what the user reported on the list, he noticed it after updating via yum -- he got one and not the other.
