Something related to this (mentioned on FAB-list 24 hours ago, but 
didn't get any replies) to fix the problem in F8 and later:

Why don't we just expand the disttag to something else without the
"fc<I>n</I>" in it in the devel branch? Then we don't have run into the 
"package disttag doesn't match the release it is shipped in" problem 
when a package is not rebuild during a devel cycle. A simple ".1" maybe 
-- that should make everybody happy afaics:

[thl at thl tmp]$ # this is how we do it right now:
[thl at thl tmp]$ rpmdev-vercmp 0 1.0 5.fc6 0 1.0 5.fc7
0:1.0-5.fc7 is newer
[thl at thl tmp]$ # why not do it like this:
[thl at thl tmp]$ rpmdev-vercmp 0 1.0 5.fc6 0 1.0 5.1
0:1.0-5.1 is newer

Or am I or rpmdev-vercmp missing something here?

/me always gets a bit confused when it comes to letters in %{release}

BTW, sure, the changelog entry and the actual release won't match fully
this way, but that's the same with disttags that expand to ".fcX" .
