No, it's fc8. f8 would sort less than fc7, causing badness.
I know, but its still undesirable to need to put 'fc' in every package
of every release from this point on. Could packages be moved over to
f8 by using release numbers, epochs or some other rpm hack?
No.
Couldn't we tag all packages built *from this point on* with f8? New
builds have to bump the EVR anyway, so 2.f8 is still greater than
1.fc7. The whole "f8 is rpm-less than fc7" argument is only valid if
you assume no other changes to a package's EVR when being rebuilt, but
AFAIK there's never been a package rebuilt in fedoraland where the
disttag was the only thing that was bumped. Granted, that means there
would be a mix of 'fc' and 'f' packages, but that's no more tacky than
our current fc6+fc7 mix.
