The URL was posted for the latest RPMs, but I assumed people could fill
in FC 1/2/3 and get the latest.  So instead I just posted the exact URL
for the 2.3.0 src.rpm.

I'm not bitching here, so don't take this wrong, I'm merely curious, but
if the submission and QA policies aren't set doesn't that make it hard
to say the RPM is "ready", since there are no guidelines to follow for
that?  We have been rebuilding and using these RPM's in production with
little changes to the .spec or other code for awhile, so I think they
are working and ready, but may not conform to "official" specs, whatever
those might be.
