Another one can argue that if those sysadmins didn't update their machine prior to the drbd83 update, some 'bug reports' will appear on bugs.centos.org to say that the latest drbd update broke their cluster .
Thoughts about this ?
I think that fetching and installing the required dependencies is the way to go.
In reality it's not always possible to have up to date systems, especially in an enterprise setting. And that may, very likely, have nothing to do with the admins themselves.
I don't like hard "Requires:" like those, but in this case there is a new drbd83-kmod package in testing which has that requirement.
The solution as pointed out by Martin in the bug report (comment #23) is to use a Conflicts for the buggy package, not a Requires for the newer (fixed) package.
