It's about upgrading, when you change the name you have a new package; so they
don't get updated content when they run yum update.

"I install version 1.0 of foo + foo-release-notes" where foo-release-notes is
your docs package.

If you update the content without changing the name you have 1 package to
maintain, and you are actively maintaining it every release. If you rename it
you have many packages to maintain and you have to ensure you back port any
relevant fixes.

Cheers, Jeff.
