In your example the the packager maintains 4 versions (in the sense of
dist-git branches and builds submitted to Koji) of the software
(FXX fish 3, FXX+1 fish 4, stream 3 fish 3, stream 4 fish 4).

That's exactly what you as a package does not want. Igor's approach
enabled you to offer the same set of fishes with only two branches.

And as Igor pointed out the more difficult packaging you have the less
packages, or package quality, or packagers you get.
