The trick is to not build for rawhide ever, until after the stable
release is out, and instead rely on inheritance. Since building
everything twice is just a terrible waste of effort, and makes this
whole mass building thing even more of a torture. But, of course, this
only works if you get on the right track when doing the first build
after the fork - unfortunately, our forking setup makes it not easy to
avoid doing at least one accidental F18 build before you notice the new
branch...
I don't recommend relying on this, because underlying libraries can have
different sonames in Rawhide than in the release. IMHO it's better to always
build for Rawhide separately, even when not strictly necessary.
