Yeah, thanks! :)

To answer your question: Well, we haven't gotten approval from release 
engineering (yet), so this spin will neither be officially released 
together with F10 nor will it be built by rel-eng and that's why it 
won't be mirrored through the official mirrors. That's just the way it 
is, since we're a little bit late with this spin and aren't able to make 
it for F10.
