YAASC (yet another anaconda special case)?

Seriously though I strongly second Alexandre's objection. If you want
people to track betas or rawhide at least they should be assured that
upgrade paths work. Leave the 20 in there until 2.4.23 or strip the
"1." from the revision number.

Yes, rawhide is for breaking things, but please not the versioning :(
