The current thinking seems to be to just ignore them* but this is guaranteed
to result in a lot of confusion. When end users do a distribution upgrade via
yum or Anaconda, some of the packages might not have been updated to the
Fedora 7 version due to incorrect packaging or other issues while the rest
are packages which are deliberated not rebuild to avoid churn. Debugging a
end user system with such a mix of packages is very painful.
Dist tags considered harmful... :) RHEL 5 suffers from this same
syndrome, it has loads of packages tagged "fc6" which I could imagine
causing quite a bit of confusion as well.
