 Fedora collection.. that rings a bell somewhere in the past.. yes FAQ
 might help here, but sounds more like a temporary solution, and cause
 for confusion?

I hit the send button to early yet again.. what I mean is that the fc
part in the file names sound more like a temporary solution and cause
for confusion for those who do look at package names.

core still present

2010-10-21 Thread Jonas Karlsson
 Hi all,
I've been thinking about the core part in Fedora that was removed some
time ago (some 7-8 releases ago) but still hangs around here and there.
One place in particular is in package names. Fedora 14 for example have
fc14 suffix, why not change this to f14?

best regards
Jonas
