Yes, it fails to deal with several types of release versions, e.g.
fedora.us pre-release versioning scheme and macros in the release tag.

I want to avoid [more] chaos if that's possible, please.

We have the FC-3-split in CVS now, but how do we proceed? Every commit to
FC-3 branch moves "devel" more out-of-sync.

It is not clear to me what you have planned. Do you want every individual
package owner to bump release versions in current "devel" tree on some day
between now and FC4T1?

At fedora.us we've had mass-rebuilds for the first or second test release,
and the dist tag made a release bump unnecessary.

In Fedora Extras, this is the first time we branch in CVS, and we need a
concept.

And no, I don't want to bump >571 versions "by hand". I didn't do that
with the 0.fdr.x.y versions after import either. Thanks Perl!
