No, it meant F9 development was begun and rawhide was branched away from F8 on that date; it meant rawhide could be messed with without effecting F8.
Wow, sorry disregard this TV-while-typing nonsense (I should answer questions I think about and know the answer for). I think that what you said Axel would be correct, in that dist-f10 should be available for packages to branch to after april 8 but rawhide will stay dist-f9 until release date. But any changes made in 'rawhide' or dist-f9 branches would still effect f9. But someone clearly needs to confirm what I just said...
Actually what I want to know is when could I start committing/building in CVS' devel w/o hurting F9.
Now, if you do an early branch request. April 8 if you want to wait.
More specificially I wanted to submit freenx-server/client packages, which while still close to the old packaged "freenx" could carry some new bugs which I'd like some rawhide/updates-testing time to sort out.
Well, there's a problem there. Even after the branching occurs, your builds won't hit rawhide as that is composed from the dist-f9 tags still. So dist-f10 builds will be queued in koji and can be gotten from there, but it won't hit a wider audience until after F9 is released.
