The trick is to not build for rawhide ever, until after the stable
release is out, and instead rely on inheritance. Since building
everything twice is just a terrible waste of effort, and makes this
whole mass building thing even more of a torture. But, of course, this
only works if you get on the right track when doing the first build
after the fork - unfortunately, our forking setup makes it not easy to
avoid doing at least one accidental F18 build before you notice the new
branch...
