I was thinking we could push the current setup (which all works
wonderfully with several fc3 machines here) out to
fedora-extras-testing and leave it there for a while for
feedback. Then I could easily point people to it to test, but the
regular fedora-extras users wouldn't see it until we push it out to
the main fedora-extras.
