I'll also go with your suggestion, Rex. I'd call it the
"it's written
rh10, but it is pronounced Fedora Core 1" idiom ...
Now that's just patently misleading. It's *not* Red Hat Linux 10,
it's Fedora Core 1. It's a shift in the development model, shifts
in the goals of the release, and more. Hence, the new name, and
new version.
By bumping all epochs of "Fedora Core" to ensure
upgradability, and maintaining unnecessary multiple specfiles?
Huh? We aren't bumping all epochs of Fedora Core packages, and
we don't have to to maintain upgradeability.
The alternative is to drop support for upgrading from RH <= 9 to
FC,
which is even uglier.
Uprgrades work... there were a couple hiccups in the test release,
but by the time of the final release, I do believe there will only
be epochs added to indexhtml and comps.
