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 
being, but once a repo file is on, it is difficult to get it off, so wherever 
you point you might want to be willing to at least maintain a redirect to 
somewhere where content lives.
