This makes sense. However, at which time scale the merge occurs? For example this bug in GTK+: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648555 has been fixed since 5 months in gtk2-2.10.4-21.el5_5.1 (so obviously in EL5.5), while it is not yet available in SL5.5 (is it?): gtk2.x86_64 2.10.4-20.el5 installed Any remark about this?
