Ok I missed the switch over on Friday due not getting the command
working. I will be doing this after the release of 14 so I won't end
up with people getting crack pipe data.

Tuesday 10 ET -> Fedora 14 should open up
Wednesday 10 ET -> Fedora 11 should move over in mirror manager if I
get the command right this time.
Thursday 10 ET -> Fedora 11 will disappear from the /pub/fedora/linux/ trees.

And with that.. I will be able to do the same in January during FUDcon for F12.
