F12 branch and rawhide for F13?

Hi!

Sorry, a bit in a hurry, hence just a quick answer:

RPM Fusion (and Livna before that) have always branched only a few days
(two to four days normally, sometimes less) before a release happens
(some reasons for this can be found in the mail archives of this list,
as this topic comes up *every* release; no time for more now, sorry).

IOW: Our devel-branch still targets F12.

That will likely chance in the future, as the unfrozen rawhide stuff and
the changes surrounding it will require adjustments on our side as well.
