Hi all,
I've been thinking about the "core" part in Fedora that was removed some
time ago (some 7-8 releases ago) but still hangs around here and there.
One place in particular is in package names. Fedora 14 for example have
"fc14" suffix, why not change this to "f14"?
best regards
Jonas

as someone will probobly notice I forgot to add "in upcoming releases
in the end of my last mail.

There are technical reasons for this that concern the NEVR comparison
algorithm for packages. For that reason "fc" here was decided to mean
"Fedora collection." :-)
We need a "General random FAQ" for these kinds of things, don't we?

Fedora collection.. that rings a bell somewhere in the past.. yes FAQ
might help here, but sounds more like a temporary solution, and cause
for confusion?

I hit the send button to early yet again.. what I mean is that the fc
part in the file names sound more like a temporary solution and cause
for confusion for those who do look at package names.
