Pat, don't worry about it too much. You guys do a good job, and
one of these things will happen once in a while no matter what.

Looking back, the previous "stuck" problem was with unsigned
java packages, and even that got resolved eventually.

If I were to read any lessons from the nfs-utils snafu, they would be:
a) to make bum packages "go away quietly" with minimum disruption,
   work *with* the nightly yum updates, not against them.
b) remember to post announcements about package updates and
   retractions to sl-errata.
