The only case it hits is deltas. If you have a package that was built
in f14, and then a update happens in f15, the delta wouldn't work
right. (At least this is my understanding). 

mock shouldn't be affected, nor should f14/f15 rpm read interop.

Yeah, I wish I could find a good cite... 
Perhaps the deltarpm and/or xz maintainers could chime in with the
exact info.
