+1 from me, but FYI if not all projects or at least the important ones like
ovirt-engine will do the same or add mapping from master to 4.2, like
explained in the 4.2 thread on devel list,
Then CI won't really work for 4.2, as it will probably need always newer
engine version or other pkgs that only exists in master flow.
