Err the fedora 19 voting for names started around the release of F18
alpha. Its been set as this for around 6 months already, I suspect its
only become an issue with people starting to create images etc.
It isn't applied anywhere till branch. Rawhide always uses the release
name 'Rawhide'. Even though it's voted on a long way ahead of time, the
new release name is only applied in the tree at branch time. Several
people were using Rawhide considerably in advance of branching -
including myself - and the problems showed up right when we branched and
the new fedora-release package was rolled.
