I won't publicly document either when I'm on vacation, so I bite and 
jump into this discussion:

At least here in Germany it sometimes happens that houses or apartments 
from people that put "we'll marry on <day> at <somewhere> and have a 
party in the evening <somewhere else>" announcements into newspapers get 
robbed while they are marrying, partying or while the couple is on 
honeymoon.

Sure, it's not happening that often, but it definitely happens. Okay, I 
doubt that any robbers check the vacation page in the Fedora wiki and 
say "knurd is on vacation now, so let's go an break into his house". But 
it's possible.

The much bigger problem: If I wanted to get a trojan or something bad 
into one of the Fedora packages then I'd try that with a package when 
its owner is on vacation for a while. Chances are way lower then that 
somebody will notice the evil thing quickly.
