That's exactly my point. It is written for fedora, but is not specific
of fedora. That's why I think it is better to avoid using fedora, but
instead use a word, both more neutral and more appropriate, like
package.

It is appropriate, but README.package seems more appropriate to me,
since it is part of the package and it allows to reuse it in other
contexts without having to rename anything (reuse in EPEL, in 3rd party
repo, for local builds and local repository or 'private' repositories
accessible on the web...).
