as i wrote to Dan just now the main thing is that we may delay or even skip
a particular branch. For compatibility I guess it means we would have to
rely on git tags so perhaps making consistently frequent (eg monthly? or
more?) releases for all the tripleo repos. You could then call a particular
range of tags as being compatible with stable/Y for example. Does it sound
sane/doable from an rdo package build perspective?
