The fedora-release package is a "dummy" one, so there is no reason to
"Supplement" it because it is meaningless, but having it other way
around should be better.

I mean to convert existing installation to the new way that would be
installed from scratch, so have only zram and not have physical swap.
I
understand that we do not want to automagically remove physical swap
on
upgrade, but it would be nice to have howto that describes how to
enable zram together with removal of physical swap.
That should also include how to modify resume= parameter and regenerate
BLS / grub configuration.
