Maybe it would be even better to just have "Fedora > Core 3" or "Fedora Core" instead, since I don't see why "Red Hat" should > appear in the "Distribution" tag, unlike "Packager" or "Vendor" where it > does make sense. I would have thought... considering efforts being made in other places to disassociated the Red Hat brand name with Fedora, that Red Hat would NOT be in the Distribution tag as a matter of political/legal policy from on high. However its decided... packages IN core should be doing this consistently...and in a reasonably future proof way. So someone with the power to make the policy...make the policy...and lets use it going forward. I can see arguments for using the release number in the tag and arguments against it... and i doubt those pros/cons will change over time. So whatever the string is, make it consistent. This tag is only useful if its consistently used. -jef
