I have been building them, but I haven't synced out the new images yet,
for the following reasons: 

- With the release of F13, we have switched the nightly composes to use
  rawhide. Most of the spins currently don't compose due to various
  rawhide issues. 

- I wanted to announce that we have switched them to rawhide, but
  haven't had the chance yet. 

- I wanted to give maintainers of spins some time to fix issues so
  there are images that compose again. 

I'll probibly send out an announcement to devel-announce later today
and see what state they are in after todays compose. 

Out of curiosity, what do you use them for, and which spins? :)
