You mean this section here? https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Versioning/#_you_need_to_change_an_old_branch_without_rebuilding_the_others I think this section can just be dropped now. System upgrades have operated in "distro-sync" mode for a while, so "Release" going down just because it's counted differently is not a problem at all. What remains a problem is stuff like missing forward-ports of bug- or security fixes, but I didn't yet have time to go through the entire list *including those where only Release goes down* to weed out false positives there, too. I also explicitly didn't say that rpmautospec increasing Release faster on stable branches than in rawhide is a problem. It's one of the reasons why I initially ignored the "Release" field for generating the list of package downgrades.
