The only major packaging difference is the FE6 version having moved it's
html pages to /usr/share/* - Whether this qualifies it as more LSB
compliant is arguable. It matches better into FE's preferences, that's
true. Whether switching to this layout for the FE5 variant at this point
in time is good idea is questionable, because it would be a major
changes and is not unlikely to kill customizations users might have
applied.

The main incompatibility however is the db-format being used.
The db-format being used by 3.6.1 is incompatible to 3.4.5, and
automatically converting them is hardly possible through rpm.
