I'm looking forward to two feature requests:

1. Flag for `cblrepo updates` to ignore x-revision changes.  (I have
   to point out though that *not* keeping up with x-revision changes
   is very likely to result in build failure, e.g.
   <http://goo.gl/6aLgfd>).
2. Either flag for `cblrepo add` that allows specifying the release on
   addition, or a change of behaviour such that re-adding a version
   results in a bump of the release.

If either is accompanied by a patch I'd be even more thankful ;)

Heuristic is an algorithm in a clown suit. It’s less predictable, it’s more
fun, and it comes without a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
