And just to spell things out a bit more, this seems consistent with FC 
Test numbering... 4.90 is a (post-4) development release of FC 5 just as 
2.6.15-xxxxx is a post-2.6.15 development release of 2.6.16.  The 
changelog has been great about noting which version of the kernel a 
release is actually based on, so for those that really care, the info is 
readily available via rpm -q --changelog.
