Ok this is a conspiracy, I have modified our build scripts so we are now
building nightly with --test tito option.

http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/katello/katello/testing/fedora-16/x86_64/

For those who does not know tito, the packages are now in the format of:

katello-all-0.2.30-1.git.14.a5e8d2c.fc16.noarch.rpm    
  latest tag ^           ^1  ^2

1 - number of commits since the latest tag
2 - githash

As the change was easy, we can switch back in the future. Enjoy.
