extras-development is Extras for Rawhide, not Extras for FC5. It 
contains packages built against Rawhide since around the end of August. 
Whilst the majority of the packages there are FC6-compatible and some 
may even be FC5-compatible, they will move towards FC7-compatibility 
over the next few months (i.e. they may require more and more 
dependecies from Rawhide (such as glibc) as time goes on.
