Hear, hear!

This is exactly one of the hopefully well-known reasons why dist tags must
not be mandatory. They add a false sense of upgrade path safety.

With Fedora Extras not being available at install-time, however,
any (!) distribution upgrade might break the ABI and/or dependencies of
extra packages until the user performs a yum update for the first time.
