It's about yearly or every other Fedora release. Or twice during the
RHEL release cycle. We do want to support upgrading from FC<N> to
FC<N+2> starting with N=5, so it is definitely within our range.

Otherwise the transition from FC6 to F7 would had cost *all* python
modules to be forked on the specfile level. There is no need to do so
by just using the disttag.
