There are now multiple copies of 7.3.6 out there. How is a body to know which
one to use? On RPMs, as you well now, SOP is to increment the release on any
change, including a typo. This way there is no ambiguity.

This is not the first time tarballs have been streamlined. I'm glad I hadn't
built any RPMs yet.
