Comment (by jkeating):

 Right now, these values are driven by mash config files.  While it's
 relatively easy to change the branched config file to say something like
 "prerelease", it gets trickier to change that to say "release" when that
 time comes.  This is because to compose out the release repos, we just
 copy the branched compose over to the Everything/ tree (and scrub the
 installer bits along the way).  So we would have to make the mash config
 change before we start making release candidates, and then we'd have a
 repo in development/ saying that it's "release".  Either that or we have
 to re-run createrepo on the Everything tree to change out this value.  Do-
 able, but human error prone.

 Also, if you want the multilib dirs to list binary-<arch> and
 binary-<multiarch> that would require more changes in mash.

 Probably the "safest" route here is to have a release ticket item to edit
 the mash file when we reach our final change deadline and start trying to
 make a release candidate so that the tags go from "prerelease" to
 "release".  Thoughts?
