No distribution really does dependencies well. Let's say some third party developer targets FC3 and sets his dependencies to the version numbers in FC3. Some user somewhere running FC2 wants to install it and there are major dependency version clashes. Does that mean the package *won't* work on FC2? Maybe, maybe not. The package may not actually use features new to the latest version.
