I think your right, it's difficult to introduce these tags/concepts in the 
middle of a freeze.

Had we done this a while back, things would have made sense.  dist-fc7 is 
where things are landing, headed toward Fedora 7 release.  f7-final is a new 
tag that got created at the freeze point to start tracking all the stuff 
that's approved for final, dist-fc7 is just where things continue to land.  
Confusing, I know :/
