mizdebsk reported a new issue against the project: `releng` that you are following: `` * Describe the issue Presence of [rawhide-repo-holder](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildtargetinfo?targetID=47) build target in Koji makes kojira generate repos for [rawhide](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=197) tag, which according to @puiterwijk is not used any longer.
* When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD) earliest convenience
* When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)
* If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? Koji resources are wasted generating unneeded repos. ``

kevin added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` Well, this was setup long ago to allow people to use 'rawhide' as a target without having to figure out what number it currently is.
I'm not opposed to dropping it, but we should announce that we are doing so.

mizdebsk added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` @kevin This request is not related to rawhide build target.
- **rawhide** target builds from f29-build to f29-pending. It can be used by packagers. Its purpose is allowing packagers building against rawhide without knowing its release number. rawhide build target is *not* related to rawhide tag.
- **rawhide-repo-holder** is a dummy target. Its source tag is rawhide, which makes kojira keep repos for rawhide tag up-to-date, which is the reason of existence of this build target. AFAIK these repos are not used and @puiterwijk confirmed that on IRC.
rawhide-repo-holder target could theoretically be used by packagers, but only for scratch builds or with `--skip-tag`, as normal real builds are not possible because dest tag is locked.
Moreover, existence of repos for rawhide tag confuses some users - they issue commands like `koji wait-repo rawhide` when they mean `koji wait-repo f29-build` and then are wondering and asking around why their builds fail. ``
