Maybe the guidelines at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#head-413e1c297803cfa9de0cc4c56f3ac384bff5dc9e 
can be modified to recommend using hosted instead of adding comments 
that the SRPM is the canonical source?

L10N folks are moving from elvis to public cvs too. Maybe we can stop 
using it entirely for Fedora.
