Well, long ago when we branched, there was a inheritence chain in koji,
so if you built something in F(n-1) it just got inherited into F(n). 
So, ie, if you built foo-1.0-1.fc36 it would just also appear in rawhide
until you specifically did a rawhide build). This just caused a lot of
problems, and I think this announcement dates back to when that just
happened. So, now it's causing confusion the other way. :)

Yeah, I am going to get all these announcements checked into git and
adjusted. Thanks for the good feedback on it.
