Jesse and all at the Fedora Release Team... Many congrats on releasing Zod, we all bow before you... Great Job!!! And we understand the challenges met by Zod melting down the FC5 core/updates/extra's repos... as well as much of the fedora.redhat.com infra... take that as a positive signal :)

David, Sounds like a good thing entering it into Bugzilla, however, if there is not a priority within Red Hat to fix it, the bug will sit there and rot... Might be a good time to split the bugzilla between active devlopment and legacy, and move the bugs over as needed, where they can be triage
