okay - so maybe title is a dumb idea.


After talking about it with luke some  - I think we don't need a title
as a human-readable way of uniquely identifying the packages.

in many update notices it is the n-v-r of the srpm that made the
packages in the update. But what about errata that impact more than one
srpm? Do we have those? Shouldn't we be prepared for those in any event?

ideas?
