As the release notes state:
<snip>
8.5. Packages with ".fc6" Tag

There have not been any major changes in the toolchain in Fedora 7.
Therefore, some packages in Fedora 7 might retain ".fc6" in the release
tag if they have been inherited from the previous release without any
changes. Fedora maintainers have not rebuilt these packages for Fedora 7
to avoid making end users download the packages for only a release tag
change. This measure ensures that the robustness is not affected by any
potential changes evoked by rebuilds. This naming of packages is merely
cosmetic, and does not in any way affect the functionality of the software.
