There are obviously some fixes that are required at the client level: 
yum presto plugin. However we can encourage the mirrors to presto enable 
all the repositories right away.

Since the client is in extras users can choose to install it for FC5, 
FC6 and rawhide (this one is esp interesting right now) and we should 
look at installing the plugin by default in F8.
