Well, it did not help in the systemd case

systemd-188-3.fc18 < systemd-188-3.fc19

where as systemd-188-3.fc18 has another fix in than systemd-188-3.fc19 has.

But in general I am all for the idea of not permitting newer packager versions
in older distro version. These happened too often in the past, where we had for
example newer versions in F14 updates than in F16 release, which horribly broke
updates. The only solution for this, is to only allow updates with
"%{?dist}.[0-9]+".
