There's multiple ways this could look since we have multiple repos. Does
this look like you are imagining?
1) Build for rawhide, F-14, F-13
2) Push to updates-testing on F-14 and F-13
2.1) Testing period. If bugs are found and fixed go back to (1)
3) Push F-14 to updates/release
3.1) Testing period. If bugs are found and fixed go back to (1)
4) Push to F-13 updates.
Something like that, yes. The idea is that before it goes out to a prior
release, we make sure it's been proven with some level of stability on
a new release first.
