I don't recall this cropping up until F8.

Whatever works for you.

That does not tell you much. Only a small portion of packages have 'fc4' in 
their release label.

Most of those 1413 packages are most certainly FC4. It's very unusual to 
have more than 20-30 packages installed from non-Fedora repositories.

Most non-Fedora repositories have their own release naming convention. If 
you have Livna set up, most of their packages have "lvn" as part of the 
release name.

Doing this search "backwards" will likely give more accurate results.
