Actually, the updates to Fedora 7 will have a different tag.  Likely
f7-updates or something (Jesse would know for sure).  As to when that
occurs, it will likely go active right around the time we declare F7 as
golden.  And yes, there should be an email explaining the update
procedure when it's ready.

Updates will continue to be stored in a separate repo as far as I know.
