Correct.
fedora-core-1 is the base OS, and updates-released is, well, updates.
It would probably not be far off the mark, then, to expect that when
FC2-test1 is ready, there will be a downloadable distro (ISO, Fedora
tree) to try, which would be updated by the testers from Rawhide, until
testing is complete and FC2 goes gold. In other words, pretty much what
has happened during the FC1 test period. Correct?
