Perhaps this never happens because we always have some updates and we
always do a mass rebuild with release bumping for any new Fedora release.
Ans as any fix for a Fedora -N is accompanied by it being applied to the
subsequent Fedoras -(N -1) until current, that has never happened so far.
Anyway, if you guys want the %{_dist} at the end we will add them, I am
just not really sure that this situation will ever happen.
