ok. i think tforsman understood it a bit differently: to use the f:20
label on anything that is built against f:20, regardless if it is going
to work with f:21 or not. 

so we would use f:20 label for packages that are for example intended to
be replaced with future versions from f:21. say there is an update
available for a package from upstream that we want, and we know it will
be in f:21, but it is not getting into f:20. then we could update
manually and label it with f:20 to declare the intent that we don't want
it once f:21 is there because then we can just take it from fedora
anyways.

what other reasons could there be to limit something to a specific
fedora label?
