I'm afraid there's not. I've filed a BZ to request documentation.

You probably didn't see the files because they start with a dot "." and are
hidden files. Try looking closer under the os/ directory for already released
versions. I've tried with Fedora 8 from my local mirror at
http://fedora.mirrors.megalan.bg/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64/os/

The files are supposed to provide a generic way to get some info for the tree
incl. kernel and initrd locations. I was told that this is still work in progress.

Greetings,
Alexander.
