I see a 'few' matches but nothing that would indicate a policy statement inside Core. Look at the package list of fc3, you will see a 'few' out of the 1400 or so packages that have fc3 in the tag. I don't think there is a policy in place that requires any package in core to be generated with fc1/fc2/fc3 in the version number. If those strings do appear, i think its more for the packager maintainers own sanity than for users use. -jef
