</I>OTOH you are not sure that some packages when you upgrade your system
are there because they are older or newer.
I was one who wanted the release number into the rpm name when it was a
proposal, and i'm yet sure it was (and should be) a good idea.
You can avoid to rebuild your packages if you think they are compatible with
an incoming release, there's no problem to read old distro version in them,
but if they don't work users can complain that they have not been rebuilt...
and (often) upgrades and backports don't fail to upgrade same package version
from a distro release and the next one.
Avoid release number instead, can cause problems when a backport has been
installed, for glibc incompatibility for instance. Same name, same package
version but built in backport for stable release and in developer for incoming
means it won't be upgraded when developer's becomes new official.
My 2€ cents
