Hm, at least in the past these two were not precisely the same
although the bulk, clearly, was identical. In ...<arch>.rpm there
were various bits-and-pieces build specific - like versioned
symbols.
that is not the case for any of the 2.6 rpms I did since the early days
and in FC2.
So from POV of an end-user this is not that benign change as it
looks in the first glance and we hear all the time "disk space is
cheap" when complaining about some bulk monsters. From some
postings it looks like that this change will spell serious trouble
even for some participants of this list.
in FC2 you ALREADY cannot use kernel-sourcecode for building modules
against so the change is a lot smaller than you make it out to be.
