Status of fedora.us "Extras" and apt?

I was wondering if anybody knows the status of the fedora.us repo.
The base os and updates seems to be up at:

 http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/3/i386/

but there are no extras package, not even a version of apt built to be
able to apt-get the base os and update packages from the repository.
Nary a mention on the fedora.us website or wiki, I don't even know
there is a plan to build extras packages via fedora.us, perhaps
migration to the new Redhat build system for extras that's been
suggested is imminent, is in the works.

I know it's only been 4 or 5 days since fc3 release, but I'm worried
that no information on fedora.us about when and if a rebuild is
planned might lead users to conclude that it has been abandoned,
especially given that other 3rd party repos: freshrpms, dag etc., and
even livna (which depends of fedora.us) are up and running.

Anyway, I filed a couple of bugs on bugzilla.fedora.us:

http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2273 (for apt rebuild)

http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2274 (for website update)

Cheers,
Alex
