Well the only reason that's true for Yum is that we only support one
version. If you want to use rhel-5 or rhel-7 or rhel on POWER6 you're
just out of luck. If we did you would have to make the same
substitution.

I don't actually have anything against PPA or providing a script which
actually adds the right thing automatically. i just don't understand
why people are saying the RPM instructions which seem exactly
equivalent are in any way better.
