actually, perhaps we should implement a strict policy, and if people wish to 
deviate, i have an urpmi-proxy program, that has local overrides, in general, 
it requests stuff from an external mirror, and you can also have a local 
repository, and if you use the proxy, it can sort of backport whatever you 
want if you rebuild it yourself in your local repos.
