Maybe the guidelines at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/SourceURL#head-413e1c297803cfa9de0cc4c56f3ac384bff5dc9e
can be modified to recommend using hosted instead of adding comments
that the SRPM is the canonical source?
L10N folks are moving from elvis to public cvs too. Maybe we can stop
using it entirely for Fedora.
