Hi,

I was looking for a clear answer in the packaging docs to the question whether
package nevr must be always higher in later releases. I recall people saying 
that
now 'distro-upgrade' is the recommended upgrade method and the requirement of
keeping the upgrade path without downgrades isn't there anymore. (This comes up
in the semiannual discussion about upgrade tests.)

But I don't see an unambiguous statement in the Packaging Guidelines either way.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/#_rawhide_is_allowed_to_lag_temporarily
says that Rawhide is partially exempt, which stongly implies that other branches
are _not_ exempt.

So… has there been any change of the Guidelines on this and where is
the official policy documented?
