At last someone comprehends what I meant.
Beyond .fc suffix (that could create confusion during Fedora upgrade
however), here you're saying that RPMFusion packages must not be
audited periodically, even for months, it's enough they work.
I ask again, how can we know if a package .fc(x) compiles/works fine
on Fedora(x+n) without a rebuild?
Is the power of RPM , if fulfill all requires of package it works (rpm
-q --requires package)
For example Mosaic-2.7-0.3.b5.fc11.x86_64 still works on Fedora 23 ,
but is a FTBFS since F12 or 13 . So fail to build is not equivalent to
fail to run .
