Obsoletes RPM tag is usually specific up to release value. Therefore the new
release scheme must hold two properties:

(1) The value must be predictable. I.e. a packager must know what release
the pacakge will be assigned before commiting a change with the Obsoletes tag.

(2) The new values must be larger than all historical values (across all
historical Fedora releases). That assures than a new build won't become
obsoleted because of a decreased release.
