How will this affect the Fedora 7/8 clients?  If their yum repos are 
pointing directly to download.f.r.c, then it will break after the 
move.  But if they are using mirrorlist, which is the default config I 
believe, will MirrorManager redirect their requests to working 
servers?  That would be ideal.
