After a talk on #xendevel yesterday, I have George agreeing that we should keep the same behavior as the one Linux have. And Ian saying that we should copy entire files where we can. If we modify the behavior of %_VERSION, it would make it more difficult to copy entire files from %Linux later. So, now, can we finally commit the patch series, with both %_VERSION set, and let this bikeshedding rest, and move on?
