As I completely understand that we test it , I ask if is it possible
change kernel Makefile to reflect the new release , seems to me more
correct ... . 

Anyway, hopefully, these merge windows are short and we already have 
 4.13-rc1 released since yesterday.

No, and it won't until upstream releases 4.13-rc1.  Merge window
kernels are called 4.12+ until that point.  The RPM versioning in
Fedora is a construct to reflect that we are working on what will be
the 4.13 code base.

kernel-4.13-rc0 question

[Sérgio Basto]

Hi, 
I have a bug report that can't build virtualbox kmods for kernels on
rawhide

If your kernel Makefile does indeed have 4.13, then use the kernel
version test.

So the main question is kernel Makefile does indeed have 4.13 ?
