Proposed Change to EPEL Policies: Minor Release Based Composes
The change moves EPEL composes to biannual based composes and adds an updates tree for consumers. Package trees will have a naming structure similar to Fedora release names, and will be regularly archived off to /pub/archives after the next minor release.
Package lifetimes will be similarly affected with the expected minimum 'support' lifetime of any package to be that of a minor release.

Fedora 30 Might Enable DNF's "Best" Mode By Default
Under a late change proposal for Fedora 30, the DNF package manager's "best" mode might be enabled by default.
The --best option for DNF always tries to upgrade to the highest version available even if dependencies cannot be satisfied. While it may make sense for DNF to always try going for the latest and greatest package version which is in line with most other Linux package managers, the current behavior aims for the latest version where all package dependencies can be satisfied. If a newer package version is available but with unmet dependencies, the current default DNF behavior will silently ignore that newer version.
