Why do we need FC version attached to the package name?

Hi all,

Why is necessary to have a particular package tagged as fc10 or fc11?? What
is the significance.? As it is, versions of the packages keep changing
independent of the Fedora versions.
For example :

kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc10.i386 is available for fc10
and the same version
kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc11.i386 is available for fc11

It wastes space,time(while upgrading from fc10 to fc11).... (I invite ppl to
add to the list)

Regards
Bharath
