Thats fine... as long as they plan to keep compatibility thats good.

Well, if that has to happen, you will also have to add a versioned requirement
to any of the subpackages that need the new fixed core package. 
Otherwise you can have a case where someone installs fc6, installs
python-twisted-core, and then many months later installs say
python-twisted-words. Since there isn't a version requirement there it will
happily install with the older python-twisted-core package.

As long as the subpackages are working with the available core package there
shouldn't be an issue. If there is something in a subpackage that needs a fix in
the core package, I think at that point you will have to add a versioned
requirement for the fixed core. 

So, I think there is no issue now with it being unversioned. 
If it needs to be versioned later for a fix you can do so at that point. 

I see no further blockers here... this package is APPROVED. 

Please remember to close this package review as NEXTRELEASE once it's been
imported and built.
