I was a bit over-cautious when I saw the "X" in the versioning.  I spoke
to several folks over in #fedora-devel which raised the concern that the
X might have problems down the road if they ever changed the X to a number.

If this is already being done on other packages (I didn't look) then
perhaps keeping the same throughout would be a good thing.

Personally I'm not a fan of maintaining the same package with different
names.  Just doesn't feel like a good solution to me.
