I'm confused as to why at fedora.us there is a

How did that happen? I understood the fedora.us package naming
guidelines to mean that the "0.fdr" portion of the release tag
indicates that the yum package is not in the core distribution,
It does not mean that.
but
clearly yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm is in the core distribution.
Fedora.us packaged yum as an add-on for Red Hat Linux. Later,
yum was included within Fedora Core 1.
Further,
since yum-2.0.4-2.noarch.rpm is in the core os repository, why is a
lower version, i.e. yum-2.0.3-0.fdr.1.1.noarch.rpm, even in the stable
repository?
Because it has been published first.
Just curious and trying to learn. Thanks.
No problem.
