Uh, no it isn't.  As of 5 minutes ago:

[root at bigdog ~]# yum -y update
Could not retrieve mirrorlist
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-8&arch=x86_64
error was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
fedora. Please verify its path and try again

Ok, not the same page, but that's from the yum.repos.d/fedora.repo file
from a straight-up Fedora 8 install.  Is there a bug in the yum config?
