The reasoning behind this was to ensure that people who installed rawhide builds to get support for some new feature or device could easily move to their branch once that kernel was released. Generally speaking rawhide stays ahead of F19 at this point simply because of the overhead in the bodhi process for F19. Using the 301 series for F19 is important because the whole point is preserving an upgrade path, but yeah, I supposed that doesn't need to actually happen until 3.9 is released since F17 and F18 won't get 3.9 before that point. I will drop the F19 releases back to 1 until 3.9 is out of rc.
