NO.  All of your unpushed packages are getting tagged with dist-fc7.
dist-fc8 will inherit all of those packages.  Rawhide will be dist-fc8
after F7 is branched.

You asked about getting packages into rawhide *now*.  Right *now*,
rawhide == f7-final.  After F7 is branched, it will be dist-fc8, which
will inherit everything from dist-fc7.  Which _includes_ all the builds
that have been tagged with that.
