Hmm...  That's an interesting idea.  We'd have to decide a couple things
(e.g. are we just talking about rawhide, do we want versioned requires in
Task::Fedora, etc), but if it's useful something like this could certainly
be automated.  (That is, have something watch the packages available in
rawhide, and when versions change or new packages appear, update
Task::Fedora and upload it to the CPAN.)

I'd be for it if there's a benefit to it...  I see some Debian-specific bits
cited on the link you provided; if we could do things like that with
Task::Fedora I'd be pretty happy about it :-)
