Including Vendor in comparisons is just FAIL. Packages often move from
Fedora to RPM Fusion as legal problems are found or from RPM Fusion to
Fedora as legal problems are cleared, there's no one vendor which can have
precedence.
On the other hand, having the distro version as some sort of Super-Epoch has
been discussed at times and I think it might be a good idea. It does have
drawbacks though, because it means that upgrading from the DVD will
downgrade some stuff and some applications don't like being downgraded at
all.
