i don't recall details, but i remember such comparision fired event whatever 
the %{release} is, even if you do specify %{release} in comparision (or even 
worse, it matched whatever the %{version} or %{release} was)

it was especially painful with %triggerpostun events. as i don't have notes 
nor have reproducer, i'd say better safe than sorry.

_maybe_ the actual cause was what was solved by -namespace-probe.patch [1] 
patch. don't know and hard to check the timeline.
