I wouldn't. IMO Fedora is about software. Free /content/ should be 
hosted on repositories that are set up for that purpose, similar to 
wikimedia commons, in a way that makes it accessible to /all/ distros. 
If Fedora wants to ship tools to integrate such repositories more 
closely with Fedora, or to contribute to building such a repository, I 
would support that effort, but I don't think it should be done in the 
same repository as our software.

At the very least, yum/PK is not the right tool for browsing such a 
repository.
