Yes, this is what triggers it, and it is added by a change in
rpmdev-bumpspec in F33.   I was kind of hoping that rpm would also be
changed to ignore this, so I have not done anything about it.  I
suppose I could look into it, but it is just noise at the moment.

With the cause coming from a change in rpmdev-bumpspec, I am guessing
that kernel is not the only package to notice it, though we do use
scripts calling it more than most I suppose.  I may look into it, but
from a tooling standpoint, we will likely end up changing a lot of
scripts, so it is fairly low priority at the moment.
