I have been working on this and will continue to do so.  There were a
couple of issues recently that made ibiblio get stuck as the dev repo.
 As far as an FC6 blocker I'd say probably not.  This mirrors script
also works for FC5 (repo=core-5) and it hasn't had any issues.  The
biggest problem is that this is very inconsistent.  It's not the
mirrorslist portion, its the validation script that runs hourly to
verify the mirrors.  I'm monitoring it more closely now and hope to
find what is at issue.
