alsa 1.0.9 out: epoch issue with FC4 test and rawhide

Hi,

alsa 1.0.9 is out. Any chance this will make it into FC4? Probably
not, but could be one of the earliest updates.

alsa 1.0.9rcX has been packaged in such a way that it will be newer
than 1.0.9 unless an epoch bump is issued.

It has been discussed in the past that rawhide/test release do not
give any upgrade path guarantees for various reasons (among other to
be able to downgrade a bunch of packages like kde w/o having an epoch
inflation).

Should alsa be epochized (poor alsa), or the upgrade paths from
rawhide FC4tX broken? Personally I think epochs are really evil, and
setups with test releases need to be reinstalled anyway.
