Why do you think priorities are bad?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Because they are patronizing the user, relatively hard to overcome and situations where they seem necessary should be avoided in general.</div><div>

They give us the freedom to<br>
directly steer combinations of packages, thus as overriding packages<br>
from elsewhere.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As written in the first post in this thread: since RDO strives to always be (equal to or more likely) ahead of RHEL and EPEL, such an override should never be necessary. And overriding "packages from _elsewhere_" should not be considered necessary as no other repos are (nor should they be) supported.</div>

Please keep in mind, this won't happen that often, but still there might<br>
be cases where this is desired.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Like in what case? When will RDO ever want an older version of something than what is in RHEL / EPEL?</div><div><br></div><div>The only thing I can possibly come up with right now are the kernel and other tools where new networking stuff (netns, maybe more) was enabled ahead of time but I sure hope those changes make it back into RHEL with the next kernel update there. Or if not, that new RHEL kernels are again re-built with those patches for RDO as well to avoid security holes.</div>
