I confess to being a bit confused/ignorant here, and only familiar with
the Debian arrangement where unstable tracks the nightly builds of
7.8.1,  while stable has stuck with 7.7.3 etc. Nor do I know why 7.8.1
is viewed as "experimental" if everything works. 

So if, for example,
logitechmediaserver-7.8.1-0.9.20140405git1396556579.fc20.noarch is just
a package that tracks the 7.8.1 nightly and is not patched, then the
naming seems OK, and the question is then if the CSOS project should
provide only a bleeding edge LMS version, or both that and a stable one.
Or, have I missed the point?
