That's exactly right.  This is part of the No Frozen Rawhide effort.  Packages
for the yet-to-be-released F13 branch (hence called Branched) go through bodhi
as they would a stable release, however when pushed to "stable" they go directly
into the Branched release composes (the dist-f13 tag).  Once we get closer to
F13 release, they will start going to f13-updates.
