re: backwards compatability:
Will rpms for 10.1 run on 10.2?
It's actually quite sad that all packaging effort in Linux needs to be endlessly replicated. Same thing done over and over again for years. Time for Novell propose something radical in rpm.org (now that it's getting on again)?

I don't think any software will ever be in a position to be compatible with all older versions, however the "buildservice" goes a long way towards not repeating previosly done work. if an RPM gets loaded into the buildservice and a new distro gets added to the "compile for" list it will do everything it can to migrate that RPM to the new distro, possibly in the future this will be automatic.
