Point releases are just a snapshot of the packages at a certain point

RHEL offers its customers an EUS program for them to remain at a point
release and get security updates but it doesn't publish the EUS
sources in the same way that it doesn't publish the ELS sources.
But my original point was that glib2-2.36.3-5, which I see in SL7x, was
incompatible with the new (in epel-testing) qtwebkit, which needed
glib2-2.40.0-4 from SL7rolling built off TUV's 7.1
If it's in "epel-testing", why shouldn't only work with 7rolling?
Even if it were in "epel", since RH released 7.1 threee weeks ago and
it's EPEL's target, why should EPEL care about SL (and CentOS) being
behind the curve?
I wasn't making a complaint. I found something I didn't expect and
thought it worth a 'heads-up.'
