As of 0.11.1 it should stop changing so it should be a thing of the
past in terms of having to keep updating. I was never going to enable
it until the bitstream was approved as then even different versions of
Fedora wouldn't have worked, Once the stream is classed stable that's
when I'll enable it so I know that if its used at all on Fedora is
should work between at least different Fedora releases.
