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.
