Say ardour were version 4, then introducing version 5 would require creating ardour4, obsoleting ardour <= ... so existing users aren't upgraded to the new version (which may be incompatible). All existing users would have to get an update just to follow the name change. Thinking further about it, having a meta package that only pulls in the latest ardour major version when it arrives is kind of overkill. The most simple way is probably just having ardourN packages for each major version. If, like with the version 3 and 4, the session file formats are compatible between versions, we can retire the older version in upcoming Fedora releases, i.e. in the current case, retire ardour3 from Fedora 22 on.
