I thought Friday was the new date?

As an update to my comment made in the status meeting, yum does not handle 
srpm's.  I still believe, not for this version for obvious reasons, that 
being able to handle srpm's through the package manager is a Very Good Thing 
(TM).  Perhaps this can go onto a wishlist for the future... I'll try and put 
down a good idea of what I think would work, why, etc, and post up a feature 
request once I can.
