Weirdness with F-18 kernel release number

Hi,

Something is wrong with how the release number for the F-18 kernel
package is getting bumped, luckily the actual version is being
increased most of the time too, not making it matter much, but
still this is clearly wrong:

[hans at shalem ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.8.3-203.fc18.x86_64
kernel-3.8.4-202.fc18.x86_64
kernel-3.8.5-201.fc18.x86_64

Notice how as the kernel versions get newer the release gets
older ...

Regards,

Hans
