If the new version is an API change and the consumer wants to keep the old line for compatibility, just pinning to an old release means you're not able to do bug fixes or security updates. If that's expected to be a long-term situation, a module would make sense then. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm at fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
