Sorry, for my novice question but I can't find any reliable source of
information about Fedora's kernel version naming policy.
I don't think it's documented anywhere, and I'm not on the Fedora kernel
team so this is a best guess, but:
I assume it's set such that for two identical kernel versions, the fc19
version would always be NVR-newer than the fc18 version, so that you
always get upgraded to a fc19 kernel when you update, instead of getting
stuck.
