The idea to use ".1" as disstag for devel (discusses weeks ago) still
stands.

The idea in short: x.1 is higher then x.fc7 and avoid the confusion if a
package doesn't get rebuild during a devel cycle; and if there later is
a update after releases x simply gets increased -- so there would no
need to got for "x.2".

I can outline the idea further if anybody is interested.
