Yeah. I didn't know that vendor would make any value in future, so
there might be still many different vendor tags on x86-64. That
protectbase-stuff apllies so only to ia32. David made it and it does
aplly only on stuff David has compiled.

I've since used the vendor 'Tao Linux' tho, but that doesn't make
initial stuff magically change, so protectbase is out of support on
anything else than ia32.

If i would have thought something like that, i'd make it use 'source
patch of the RPM' ie. repo it's coming from. I don't know if such info
could be calculated from the info available, but that would have made
it 'if it's from this URL, it's BASE'.

contrib etc. does anyway have different repo tags in yum.conf, so diff
paths then.

But it's tool late for that too .....
