It was brought up that since RHEL is based on Fedora releases, and RHEL does
crazy things like support RHEL3 to RHEL5 upgrades, it is reasonable to have
conflicts information in a Fedora package that dates a little farther back
than the latest supported Fedora release, since we're trying to use these
packages and guidelines for RHEL too.
No, actually, RHEL doesn't support v3 -> v5 upgrades afaik. At least,
RHEL has never previously supported upgrades across more than one major
release.
