I don't care much about the "c", but we IMHO really should get rid of a disttag in rawhide that is related to the release cycle when a package got build. Only then we can avoid confusion like "why are there packages with .fc11 on my F12 machine/in the F12 repos" which IMHO come up way to often and seem to highly confuse people. I still vote for using ".1" as %dist in rawhide all the time(¹), as that is higher then (for example) ".fc12"(²). But that suggestion was shot down last time I brought it up one or two years ago. Has anybody any better idea?
