partly branch for F-11 now?

Hi!

I a week or two ago I said it afaics doesn't make much sense to branch 
for F-11 more than one or two days before F-11 is actually released.

But with the one week delay of F11 and the deltarpms discussion I'd 
propose this now: We branch for F-11 in CVS now, but development still 
continues to build for the F-11 Everything repos.

Benefits:

- we can test drpms
- we can push things like sdlmame-0132-0.2.0131u2 (which will never make 
it to the stable updates repos) to the testing repos for F11
- packagers can decide on their own where the packages they build head to:
  - build in devel/ -> package lands in the Everything repos for F-11 later
  - build in the F-11/ branch -> package lands in the testing repos and 
sooner or later in updates-proper

Disadvantages:

- the F-11 branch in CVS might not have the spec file that packages in 
the F-11 everything repos are based on
- a bit of more work for me now in total; but it's a bit less when F-11 
is actually shipped, which is a good thing, as there is often a lot to 
do then anyway

Opinions?
