I'm just wondering: a package created with RPM 5 is still

a "RPM format 3" package:

With all of Jeff's rpmlead and some other changes this year, it it
really still correct that we define (in "macros.in")?
| %_package_version 30005
Or does RPM 5 need a (at least slight) version bump here to
indicate the
package format differences which were introduced?
Changing the package version number creates instant incompatibility
and intense hostility.
The package version is a very different thing from the implementation
version,
don't let the values confuse.
