Just to note here, any addition of additonal repos is not going to be
"oh, lets toss that out and it's all done". 

A partial list of what we would need to do to add a repo: 

* Patch bodhi to know about the new repo, what requirements it would
  have. If it would have a updates-testing version and how to promote
  to updates. 

* Add a koji tag for the builds. 

* Modify the fedora git processing scripts to allow branches to be made
  for this repo. 

* Update mash and such to create the repo(s). 

* Process all the packages that would need to be added. 

* Add components to bugzilla for the new repo/channels/packages. 

And I'm sure there's other issues... it would not be at all easy, and I
would prefer to avoid it.
