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.
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.
