"master" branch still invokes build in f17-candidate??

Oh?  In the complaint that started this thread, I showed an example of
launching "fedpkg build" in master branch and getting an fc17-candidate
result.  That seems to me to prove that it isn't koji deciding.

In the particular case here it was harmless, since I would've just gone
and built the identical SRPM in f17 a bit later anyway, and (I trust)
rawhide will inherit the new f17 package too.

I can see the argument why "fedpkg srpm" and friends should produce
similar results to what you get from "fedpkg build", because I have lost
count of the number of times I've cursed the fact that it's impossible
to reproduce the koji build environment elsewhere.  On the whole I'm not
attracted to introducing still another discrepancy compared to what
happens in local builds.
