yes, the packages will become official, if that's what you mean, but 
your computer will have yum configured for all the devel repos, not the 
standard repos which means whenever you do a yum update, you'll be 
updating to the latest devel stuff.

i may be mistaken, it is possible for the upgrader to automatically 
change all this stuff, but i'm not sure that it does.

any expert answers out there?
