Yes, including their updates (RH5.1, RH5.2, SLES10 sp1 and SLES10 sp2).

The reason for using 'stgt' package was similar to the idea in iscsi.
SUSE named stgt as tgt and redhat named it scsi-target-utils.
My idea was that users will be able to add stgt in the conf
file with a generic name such as 'stgt'.
That why I think it would be better to put 'stgt' in the @user_packages (instead of 'tgt').

Looks great, thanks.
Just tell me what you think about the 'stgt' package.
