That is all true, but this approach is still compatible with the way that the repos and srpms are named. It's entirely fine to build gimp.srpm → gimp.rpm and gimp3.srpm → gimp3.rpm in F40, and gimp.srpm → gimp2.rpm and gimp3.srpm → gimp.rpm in F41+. This is similar to how python3.rpm is currently build from python3.12.srpm in F40 and python3.13.srpm in F41.
