Re: how to do minor bump using %autorelease?

No, that's just wrong.
The "upgrade path" (wrt/ NVRs) is no longer enforced across release
boundaries. AFAIK, all supported release-upgrade methods now use
distro-sync or something equivalent, so NVR-based "upgrade path" is just
not important any more.
That just does not make sense: We enforce upgrade paths from Rawhide to
Rawhide (!) requiring lots of unnecessary Epoch bumps when things need to be
reverted (which is normal for a development running release), but we happily
allow the ones that actually matter to end users to break?
All this just so that lazy packagers do not have to increment a number (in
most cases a single-character change, in some cases (such as a minor bump or
every 10 major bumps) a two-character change, rarely more) when doing a new
build.
