Development repo is rawhide, which is a current snapshot of the next
Fedora release.  Each package is updated on it's own merit, mainly when
the maintainer rebuilds it, or it's a dependency on another package that
got updated.

Extras-development is all the packages in the Fedora Extras repository
that are updated but not stable yet.  Or are in this case, being
compiled against what will be FC5, in which they will be official extra
packages once FC5 Final is released.
