If you don't already set IGNORE based upon the linux osrelease it would be a good idea to do so before you commit this.

When we change this we also need to change the portrevision. If you want to commit it, go ahead. I was waiting for a functional change to the fc4 port to commit this at the same time. If you don't want to commit this to fc4, just integrate it into fc6.
