and yet I see in today's stream: tzdata-2011l-4.el6.src.rpm
... this particular package is usually a trivial package to
rebuild -- BUT THE Java related one is NOT. Local authorities
dont plan ahead, and fixing the matter is already documented
in the wiki with the 'rebuilding SRPMs' article
Coming up with a policy for 'special casing' CR matter into
updates seems like a discussion we need to have first. I am
not against doing so in limited cases. but we need to consider
the liklihood of breaking update path, and indeed, running
installs, first
