    So what would SmartPM's reaction to pointing a FC3 machine at FC2 repos
    be? From everything I'm hearing it would be to downgrade most of the
    packages to FC2 to satisfy these broken deps. I haven't tried that
    personally to verify, but that doesn't sound like something I want a
    package manager doing.
