Its because people are just building packages on F-15 branch. They
don't get into rawhide until they hit F-15 stable.

They should really be building for rawhide first and then merging the
package repo back into F-15 and building it there, then submitting it
to F-15 for testing. But it doesn't seem to be happening in a lot of
cases.
