Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to say. Plus the release could be set just like the distro currently is, which allows users to create new ones. So if version 11 isn't in the list yet the user can add it. To be clear selecting "Fedora" would only show release versions added to "Fedora" Sorry for the confusion in the first post.
