I was immediately on board because there was a coordinated major release of 4 packages I maintain right after this announcement. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test dependent packages because the mass rebuild kicked in and in effect updated the packages automatically on Rawhide. Especially unfortunate since my bandwidth for Fedora is very limited these days. Question: can I build for rawhide, in a side tag, on an arbitrary git branch? Remark: fedpkg's request-side-tag command doesn't appear in the manual or bash autocomplete output. Browsing the online docs I also don't know how to delete the side tag since the builds were superseded by the packages from the mass rebuild.
