I did and I knew about some packages still having fc6 in the name. However it is still possible when doing an upgrade to have some packages with fc6 in the name that shouldn't be there any more. This might be because the upgrade happened without access to the everything repository (or perhaps Livna's F7 repository) or because the upgrade didn't handle that package. Though I will say that the using the --last option suggestion was a better option than trying to compare names.
