As a result of Thurs Oct 21 rawhide, Installation of up2date-4.3.46-1
performs the following
	- finalize fc3 urls #135700
        - some pychecker cleanups
        - remove /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources (mover to *-release 
          package)
        
that 3rd item sounds like what has happened on my system.  I no longer have a sources file.  
I checked the fedora-release package and there is no 'sources' file there.  I do have a test 
2 distro that I can get the file from though.  Did they jump the gun on this?
