Only if we make a promise to never use the same base n-v-r across the
releases until whichever release we did the mass rebuild on is retired.
You are correct in that if we did a mass rebuild in dist-f13, we could
move to .f##, but consider 3 days later a maintainer wants to push a new
upstream release across the branches:
foo-1.2-1.fc11
foo-1.2-1.fc12
foo-1.2-1.f13
We're back in the same boat where the "fc" packages will be n-v-r
higher.
Is RPM so hard to hack to work this around?
