Re: Very much packages with fc6 tag instead of fc7 in the FC7 tree

This is bull. Most people download an iso which contains the old version. IOW,
you download it *anyways*. The only people this might help is rawhide users and
people updating via yum - which if I recall, is not officially supported. I'd
like to see this policy changed in F8 so that admins/users can spot failed
upgrades or orphaned packages. That is far greater value than saying its to save
bandwidth when it doesn't.
