After doing this for 4 years.. I think that for the small number of people we have the idea that we can support without resources packages for 7 years without major updates is wishful thinking. We have a ton of packages that get updated almost as much as rawhide already :/. However that is really a different topic and I am a grumpy old man with bursitis at the moment. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
