Well, long ago when we branched, there was a inheritence chain in koji, so if you built something in F(n-1) it just got inherited into F(n). So, ie, if you built foo-1.0-1.fc36 it would just also appear in rawhide until you specifically did a rawhide build). This just caused a lot of problems, and I think this announcement dates back to when that just happened. So, now it's causing confusion the other way. :) > f36 was already isolated from f35 and the other previous releases. > rawhide has now been isolated from f36 (which is not a release). > > How about rewording it as: > > "Fedora 36 has now been branched, please be sure to do a git fetch > to pick up the new branch.

Thanks for the good feedback on it. kevin
