We've checked into this before and we can't.  I can't remember the exact 
reason why.  The only way I've been told we could do this was if each 
Fedora version was a separate "product" instead of the way it currently 
is with 'product->fedora' and 'version->{1-10,rawhide}' we would have 
'product->fedora10' and version would be less meaningful.  The RHEL 
products follow this methodology.
