You're missing the point. At some time, someone, for whatever reason (e.g. upgrade from FC3 to FC4 but forget to update repos in smart config) will point smart at a set of repos for an older distribution. The question is: what will happen as a result of that? Hopefully nothing too bad!

A good reason why the release version should not be hard -coded in the config files.
True, but somebody's eventually going to do this for whatever reason, and so the question remains... what will smart do when this happens?
