Yeah it's me but it's interesting to see it use the same strategy as is 
being done within Fedora where all the Red Hat maintained products are 
elevated over community maintained ones by various "recommendations" for 
them here and there but you are not forced to use those recommendations 
no more then you are mandated to use the rpm package format in the lsb 
standard.
