From the "Guidelines for Naming Fedora Packages" the example in the "Multiple packages with the same base name" section ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuideline... ) seems to contradict the "Separators" section ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuideline... )
The example describes naming a package as python-sqlalchemy0.5 to show how to make a compatibility package, but the separators section says:
The maintainer MUST NOT use an underscore '_', a plus '+', or a period '.' as a delimiter.
Is the period inside the appended version number not considered a delimiter for these purposes?

From what I know, and what is pratically done, one would name the compatibility package "python-sqlalchemy05".
I assume the period slipped in the package name when preparing some copy-pasta. :P
Anyways, this should be changed, so I'm adding the fedora-packaging ml.
