Perhaps you could explain what the vendor tag is - and does it appear
on the filename? I'll be happy - if yum has a query interface to
provide this info.

Also - 'rpm -qa |grep FC3' - currently has plenty of matches - I guess
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)
