Packaging software compatible with only one Fedora release

OK, here is the ticket I filed to rel-eng:
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5307

Now, I'm unsure on how to deal with the branch "master": should I keep
it up-to-date even if it's related to Fedora 19? Or, instead, when
updating the package, should I update only the branch "f17", excluding
everyone else?

By the way, in the table "tags" here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13861 a tag
"dist-f15" is shown. Should I request also that to be blocked?

Thank you.
