Yeah, I agree with Stephen's rationale in comment #16 overall. 

The remaining question in my mind is: Should there be any kind of Provides for
"unison" so users who don't care about versions can simply install it. 
That would introduce some annoying corner cases however:

1. Current installs that have 'unison' installed. 

I would guess we would make the newest version in each dist
"Provides: unison = %{version}-%{release}"
This would upgrade current installs to the newest version for that dist. 

2. Dist upgrades (ie, from f8 to f9 or f9 to f10)

The above would mean that if you had the newest unison package installed, 
you could be upgraded to an incompatible version on dist upgrade. 
Of course users could then simply install the 'unisonXYZ' to maintain
compatibility. 

That all could be too much trouble however. Might be better to just have users
install the exact unison package they want specifically. Thoughts? 
Or a more clever way to handle things?

Anyhow, Stephen: Can you spin up a new 'unison213' package?
