And if one doesn't want to wait for Fedora process, he can always 
download them from koji. The announcement is usually send when the 
builds are ready. Sometimes I wait for the push, but in general it 
doesn't change anything. We can't speed up the process and doing new 
repos just for impatient people IMO isn't worth the time.
