ANNOUNCE: bittorrent downgrade

The bittorrent (and bittorrent-gui) package has been downgraded in the 
Extras development repo from version 5.0.5 to 4.4.0, due to 
compatibility problems between the GUI and wxPython 2.8.x 
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/223623). Since bittorrent upstream is still 
doing development on wxPython 2.6, there is little prospect of a fix for 
this before FC7 release, so the package has been downgraded to the last 
version that had a working (pygtk2-based) GUI.

As this is still the development phase of the release, the downgrade was 
done without an epoch bump, so:

MANUAL DOWNGRADE WILL BE NEEDED IF YOU USE THE bittorrent PACKAGE ON 
RAWHIDE.

Regards, Paul.
