Right.
And even then Fedora just follows upstream glibc's version for Rawhide (rolling
release).
There is no such thing as a 2.3.90 release, the ".90" denotes that the sources
came from the development branch _after_ glibc 2.3 was released.
So a version of 2.3.90 means that the sources where somewhere between 2.3 and
2.4 (before release).
