Hello Peter!

API of the platform7 isn't compatible with API of the platform8. A number inside
name of the component provides ability to have several versions of the
components in the host system. Both distributions of the NetBeans 6.0 and 6.0.1
rely on platform7, but distribution of the NetBeans 6.1 relies on the next
version, i.e. platform8. Therefore, the Review Request
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439265 is not obsolete.

I chose netbeans-platform rather than libnb-platform to have compliance with
Fedora Naming Guidelines.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28General.29
Actually, platform can be considered an "addon" or a "child" of the NetBeans.
Nevertheless, the netbeans-platform8.spec defines the clause 
Provides: libnb-platform8
to resolve situation if an RPM with old name from another distribution has been
installed.
