Well, we don't have autoqa live as of yet, live enough to prevent n-v-r
mishaps from going out to users. So it would take some maintainer
diligence. Honestly though if we were going to make a dist eval change
I'd want to make it across all the active branches and reduce the
potential for n-v-r mishaps.

It'll live within fedpkg. It will basically make the assumption that if
you're on a branch, eg f13, it'll target
'dist-<branch>-updates-candidate'. And if you're not on a branch, it'll
target 'dist-rawhide'. We'll do koji magic to make sure 'dist-rawhide'
points things in the right direction, but the upshot is that nothing
needs to change on the developer's system each time we branch and start
up a new release.
