Yes, but you didn't *ask*, you told. Had you asked, I probably
would've worded it differently. :-)

I would say "privilege" rather than "right." CVS is, first and
foremost, a developer tool. Always has been. What's in CVS at any
particular moment may or may not compile, and those who lack insight
into the how's and why's of each module's status are generally
encouraged to refrain from complaints (although patches are always
welcome) because it takes developer time away from more worthy tasks.

You really should check out mezzanine (www.kainx.org/mezzanine/).
After running "make dist" a simple "mzbuild" will create RPM's and
SRPM's for you. You can also build inside a chroot jail
(-r /path/to/jail) or as another user (-u userid) with minimal
difficulty. This also makes building for multiple targets as easy as
using multiple buildroots, which in turn is as easy as invoking
mzbuild multiple times with each chroot path (e.g., "mzbuild -r
/path/to/fc1/root ; mzbuild -r /path/to/fc2/root").

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd recommend 0.YYYYMMDD.fcN myself. Otherwise you're giving
preference to a dist upgrade over a package upgrade.
