I know in fact that several do (if you're referring to other unofficial 
Fedora repositories, that is).

Among them (Fedora Core 5) are:

FreshRPMS
rpm -Uvh 
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/5/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm

Dries
rpm -Uvh 
http://apt.sw.be/fedora/5/en/i386/dries/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.2-2.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm

Planet CCRMA
rpm -Uvh 
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/fedora/linux/planetccrma/5/i386/planetccrma-repo-1.0-2.rhfc5.ccrma.noarch.rpm
