Does it? Thats great. It didn't as far as anyone here knew when we
wrote the spec -
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/oslo-specs/plain/specs/juno/pbr-semver.rst
- or we'd have avoiding a tonne of complexity. I see from

4.10 available on all the RPM platforms we support? Including I guess
old RHEL's and stuff?
