They are - it's just that I won't rev them intensively for F-11 (just
for Rawhide).  Unless we have them in virt-preview for F-11 in which
case I can also rev them intensively there too :-)

Maybe I'm a bit confused about what virt-preview is really for.

I would normally say to people, just pull the updated packages and
dependencies from Rawhide.  But there's a danger doing that, eg. if
some fundamental soname in Rawhide gets bumped (like libcrypto), then
they end up pulling in a huge number of Rawhide packages into their
F-11.

Rich.
