I'm toying w/ the idea of dropping apt support as of FC3.  With the start of 
multiple arches and with apt not being included in Fedora (but yum is), I'd 
rather not deal with the long long metadata generation time, the hassle of 
providing apt packages for each release and the nasty symlink tree I have to 
create to be able to support it.  Apt metadata creation will continue to 
happen for the older RHL releases, and Fedoras up to 2 I do believe, but from 
3 on, I'd rather use the native updating tools provided with Fedora.

That said, I did create empty repos for FC4 and FC5, and will create one for 
FC6 once that gets going.  Hopefully by the time FC6 comes out, we'll be 
moved over to using download.fedora.redhat.com as our master mirror and thus 
all the rest of the Fedora mirror system.
