I think this would be a Good Thing...

I for one agree.

I think we will have to for the RHL releases. You could argue otherwise
for FC releases, since most of them come with YUM by default.
So I vote we keep yum and apt for RHL releases, and I'll defer for
FC releases.

Someone running those dists has to write them. I actually do have access
to a FC3 system, so I can do the FC3 stuff. But I don't have any access
to FC1 or FC2, so someone else should do those.

Yes, but who will do it? Volunteers?
