| COPR | Easy | Immediate | Unofficial, but the fix is already there |
| Unsigned RPM | Easy | 1 week | Unofficial in that it's unsigned |
| Async Update to z-stream | Difficult | 2 weeks | Requires sign-off from many and could be rejected |
| Batch Update to z-stream | Medium | up to 8 weeks | Red Hat's preferred method |
