Generally we close bugs that are fixed in the Fedora Core 
development tree as "RAWHIDE", however "NEXTRELEASE" is probably 
just as valid, but not used as often.  The main difference 
between the "RAWHIDE" and "NEXTRELEASE" closures, is that closing 
a RHEL 3 bug as "RAWHIDE" doesn't make sense IMHO, whereas 
"NEXTRELEASE" for RHEL3 bugs, means "will be fixed in RHEL4".

For Fedora Core, both are more or less synonyms IMHO, however 
that's my own personal interpretation, not official policy of any 
sort.
