Well, I suppose that could be changed if we really want to.

True. But the repos are in place and users that install the F8-RC can
just continue to use it and will get F8 automatically by running "yum
update" -- that's what a lot of people want afaics. But there are likely
other and better solutions to make that work. A F8-7.98 tree in the
proper place for example that gets symlinked to the final tree for a
while later, so users that run yum update get the final bits
automatically, without adjusting their yum configuration.
