Well, even if development started in fc6, that's fine. I think DEPLOYMENT
should begin with rawhide, and work its way down.

Typically we don't allow packages other than fedora-release to add repo files.
Maybe we could grant an exception for this package for a temporary time

you point you might want to be willing to at least maintain a redirect to
somewhere where content lives.
