To further easily differentiate which package comes from our repos. Furthermore, this facilitates existing Arch installs that adds our repositories because if we keep the versions the same, those users will never be able to get packages from CachyOS's repo. This also holds true for CachyOS users because we have Arch repositories as a fallback repo, meaning that if the packages have the same version between the 2 repos, if a package in Arch lands first in the local Arch mirror and CachyOS is late a little bit, some unfortunate timing can cause users to not be able to use packages from our repos.

So, no recompiling / specific changes from cachyos side?

Why would users want to prefer cachyos repo over official?
