We've had some problems with DNS during the Fedora Infrastructure
move, but these should be resolved now, eliminating the need to edit
/etc/hosts or the yum .repo files.

If you find you still have problems, please file a ticket with Fedora
Infrastructure. https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/

Thanks,
