What adds to the confusion/frustration is that we did this merger during a 
freeze.  Had we not been frozen, rawhide would be composing from dist-fc7 and 
it would be much easier to grasp.  But we are frozen, and as such there are 
extra steps involved to get packages "live".  Once we branch F-7 and open up 
rawhide for F8, then rawhide will just compose from things in the standard 
tag that gets applied when you do 'make build' in devel/ (until the first 
freeze for F8).
