And at the URL, you say its "been submitted to the Fedora Core FC2",
but you post a link to fedora.us bugzilla. This is a very confusing
and misleading use of inherently confusing and misleading terminology.
As of now as far as i know, fedora.us is still a separate entity. And
even if fedora.us does get merged into the Red Hat sponsored Fedora
Project in the FC2 release timeline (miracles do happen), at best the
packages published at fedora.us in the meantime are going to fill Fedora
Extras, and certaintly not land directly into "Official Fedora Core". 
Perhaps
its best not to suggest that these rpms are going to find their way into
the official install media images of Fedora Core, and say Fedora Extras,
which would be a more accurate lie.
