to distinguish between FC2 variant with the same release numbers. If
FE continues the current 'fedora extra' way of providing the same
version of packages to all releases (fc1/fc2/fe3) - It would still
need the curent practice of adding such tags (a lot more than core)
Plenty of matches? I see a 'few' matches but nothing that would
indicate a policy statement inside Core. Look at the package list of
fc3, you will see a 'few' out of the 1400 or so packages that have fc3
in the tag. I don't think there is a policy in place that requires
any package in core to be generated with fc1/fc2/fc3 in the version
number. If those strings do appear, i think its more for the packager
maintainers own sanity than for users use.
