I will use the example of 305 as it is a current example.  My expectation
was to only put in the bugfix errata that would make up 306 into the
bugfig area of 305.  This allows a user to either stay at 305 or go to an
almost equivalent 306.  If they want to go to 307 they just do the
standard 307 yum uprade as we have seen in the past with 304-->305.  If we
put all of the bugfix errata in 305 bugfix area then it will NOT be
possible to only go to the equivalent of 306.

This gives the most flexibility.
