Before "Severn" and the plans on the RHLP, there had been

  Red Hat Linux
  Red Hat Public Beta
  Red Hat Raw Hide

and a hidden "Red Hat Linux Beta" for the members of the non-public
beta program. This has changed. Now there is only:

  Red Hat Linux
  Red Hat Linux Beta
  Red Hat Raw Hide

And as pointed out earlier in a different thread, I find it extremely
unfortunate that with the current situation, the last two are not tied
together and the "See bugs in this component" button does not take
into account bugs in Raw Hide. So, before submitting a new report
about Severn, one must query at least Raw Hide and Shrike, too.
