Well, if it were me, I'd just run it and see what the list of builds to
be installed looks like. If it's full of fc19 builds, you're getting
F19. If it's full of fc20 builds, you're getting Rawhide. If the list
you see isn't the build you want, just say 'n' and then fiddle with the
fedora-release packages...
