Jesse,

Thanks. Now that I know what to search for, I found John Poelstra's
three e-mails to this list on Nov 19, Feb 10, and Feb 12. They mention
that new wiki pages are needed to explain the details. As far as I can
tell, those pages still being written.

So let me speculate:

        ./development/13
        is the F13 alpha, beta, and rc tree. It will ultimately be moved
        to ./releases/13.
        
        ./development/rawhide
        will become the new ./development tree for packages destined for
        F14 and beyond.
        
        ./development/i386
        ./development/ppc
        ./development/ppc64
        ./development/source
        ./development/x86_64
        are deprecated and will (soon?) be deleted.
        
        At the appropriate time, ./development/rawhide will be copied
        to ./development/14 and the cycle will repeat.
