Presumably as new kernels come out the base number will change to reflect the currently supported versions of Fedora. So that for the 3.9 kernel, f18 will probably be 1xx and f19 2xx.
That's a pretty arcane scheme. Would it work to use 17xx, 18xx and 19xx instead?
Probably. Putting the release after the dist tag would also probably work.

We're not changing it again. It's just a number. The only reason anyone even noticed is because it was a jump, but we've already been doing this for months.

I agree. We really don't need a discussion as to the colour of the bike, the people who are maintaining shed have made the decision it will work.
