There was a suggestion (Nov 2003?) to "rename" RHL7.3 etc. to FC0.7.3
etc. in order to get the disttag issues straightened out (the natural
disttag "rh9" is not rpm-less than "fc1"). If I am not wrong fedora.us
is using a similar scheme with stripped away distids, i.e. they don't
use fc0.7.3 but plain 0.7.3 in the versioning.

FWIW I would very much welcome a common versioning scheme for RHL & FC
that could look like

     fc0.7.3 < fc0.8.0 < fc0.9 < fc1  < fc2 < fc2.90 etc

The confusion will be high, and unless all packaging parties use the
same semantics users will be lost.

The discussion in the past has shown very low to none interest by RH,
and N^2 disttag suggestions from N 3rd parties, so there is low chance
of anything happening.
