We end up with lots of questions without any mention to necessary details , like version of the package , which release , etc... With respins , we add another variable. If the same baseline is kept , at least everyone knows what version was in the release before updating (which is handy sometimes)" -- Tony Placilla, RHCT anthony_placilla@xxxxxxxx J.O.A.T.
