Seems like no one here is really interested in those minor-but-user-visible
annoyances... so let's bugzilla it!

My vote goes for either "Red Hat (FC-3)" if is it clear that _all_ packages
will get rebuilt at least once from a Fedora Core release to the next, or
"Red Hat (FC)" if not. Maybe it would be even better to just have "Fedora
Core 3" or "Fedora Core" instead, since I don't see why "Red Hat" should
appear in the "Distribution" tag, unlike "Packager" or "Vendor" where it
does make sense.

Matthias, picky, picky
