According to 'make dist-full-help'
dist-get-latest - Returns the latest "known good" kernel from brew. This
should not be confused with the latest top-of-tree
development tag.
the command communicates with brew/koji to get the latest known version of
the kernel using the provided buildroot. Localversion isn't invovled here.
Instead the 'flaw' is the temporary buildroot tag: rhel-8.99.0-candidate
does not exist in brew. That is hardcoded in the redhat/Makefile.
It will become useful when we fork for Stream/RHEL-9.
I would prefer you leave it for now.
Cheers,
Don
