## Q: What happens when I use `rpm-ostree override replace` to replace an RPM?

When a package is replaced in this fashion, it will remain in place through any subsequent upgrades.

While this can be helpful for short-term fixes, it is important to remember that the package replacement
is in place, as the cluster currently has no mechanism for reporting that the node has been changed in this
fashion. This kind of package replacement can also leave your nodes exposed to potential problems
that are fixed in newer versions of the package.
