There were MANY duplicate bugs and some new bugs filed against rawhide which are 
F9 bugs in the last week before release... doing that change early would 
completely defeat the purpose of doing it at all.  IMO the week of release might 
work fine, but there will always be some overlap that occurs when the bug triage 
people try to do this task.  If they go early, then some F9 bugs will stay 
rawhide and should not.  If they go later, then the first early filed F10 bugs 
might get changed...

It would be better for people to seriously take a breather and wait on reporting 
F10 bugs on that first repo build for F10... there will obviously be many bugs 
and it'd be simpler to start posting them a week after the release.
