In case anyone was wondering why we got a new event while we still are testing the Beta RC, I thought I'd note it. The event creator isn't specifically set up *not* to do this, or else it'd never automatically create a new event after we're done with Beta. Usually we don't get a new nightly event while an RC is looking release-able, though, because the event creator doesn't create an event until two weeks have passed *if no packages have changed since the last event's compose*. While an RC still looks release-able, we don't push updates that weren't in the RC stable, so usually this is how things are. In this case what happened is that anaconda-34.24.5-5.fc34 was pushed stable before the RC was built, and should have been in the RC - but because of a quirk in how we do overrides for composes, it didn't actually go into the RC. The RC has 34.24.5-4.fc34. Nightly composes don't use the override side tag, so they are getting the newer build of anaconda. The event creator creates an event for a nightly compose when at least three days have passed since the previous one, if that nightly has a newer version of a "notable" package than the previous event compose did. So that's what happened: the creator saw that anaconda is newer in the nightly, and three days have passed since the RC, and went ahead and created an event. There's no harm in testing the nightly, but we should still focus on testing the Beta RC for now. Coverage is looking pretty good, just a few tests missing which we will try and knock out over the next couple of days.
