Either way, I was just throwing it out as a discussion point.

Just curious, I have been studying this some more. You provide a direct 
upgrade of 2.5.10 to 2.6.19 from atrpms, however, it doesn't appear 
that you've attempted to rectify ABI problems with the upgrade.  The 
deps work out in favor of this upgrade; but, do the programs such as 
memprof, scrollkeeper, kdelibs, etc. etc. all actually function 
properly?

For example, gstreamer shows:

[pyvault at plain pyvault]$ ldd /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.6.so
        libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 (0x00111000)

No one has seen any problems with this? Also, if we were to attempt to 
keep the Core libs and files intact, how would we provide 2.5.10 
through this link?
