FWIW, in Fedora, Rawhide auto-inherits builds from earlier repos, but only if 
there have been no builds with the tag Rawhide points to.  So for example if 
a package has not been built to dist-f10 (any EVR, ever) but it is in let's 
say dist-f9-updates-testing, it will be automatically copied to Rawhide.
