It's not about being cagey about the release, it's actually about us
retaining the ability to perform a rebuild without needing to push a
release-bump into the Fedora dist-git for issues that are
ELN-specific. (For example, ELN might carry a link-time-optimization
flag that we discover causes bugs to appear on certain packages. That
flag isn't used on Fedora, so we wouldn't want to bother the
maintainer with a version bump. We'd just bump the Y value of %{eln}
and resubmit it to Koji, which would then not have a duplicate NEVRA
appearing.
