saying it conflicts with redhat-release-7.1-1 doesn't sound very sane
to me. RHL 7.2 packages should fit right into RHL 7.1 with minimal
difficulty. At some point RH will (judging from past practice) expect
users to use RHL 7.2 errata on earlier RHL 7.x releases.
I'm sure I am not the only person to take RHL y.2 packages and install
them on 7.1 or y.0 releases, and people building packages don't want to
build for all the minor releases.
