Very good Andrew, i have been using pidora 20 for months afyer following Mace Moneta's yum release update method from koji,
and many pidora users approached me for my Pidora 20 image before your release, of course they needed to remove the amateur radio software, easily
with yum remove ......

This is my yum repository ;

http://vk4tux.no-ip.org/repo/Fedora/20/armv6hl/

It works wonderfully. I the repository issue currently with  raspberrypi-kernel-3.12.17-1.20140415git1782035.rpfr20.armv6hl.rpm
needs sorting out, which currently stalls yum updates .It can be worked around if forced manually installed..

These things will put the general user off the OS though. Also the repository server speed, could be better.

Thankyou.

We recently released Pidora 2014 as may already know if you received the initial announcement we sent out last week, however there was a Pidora.ca DNS issue which unfortunately disrupted the availability of the image. This issue has been resolved and you will now be able to access the latest release of Pidora 2014.

Pidora 2014 (Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix) Release
 
We're excited to announce the release of Pidora 2014 --
an optimized Fedora Remix for the Raspberry Pi.
It is based on a brand new build of Fedora for the ARMv6
architecture with greater speed and includes packages
from the Fedora 20 package set.
 
* * *
 
There are some interesting new features we'd like to highlight:
 
* Rootfs-Resize now works with logical partitions
* Raspberrypi kernel-devel package has been added
* New Pidora 2014 splash screen
* New Pidora logos
* Improved Headless Mode can be used with setups lacking a 
    monitor or display
* Much faster boot speed
* Faster and smoother graphical usability, with Xorg fbturbo driver
* Almost all of the Fedora 20 package set available via yum
    (thousands of packages were built from the official Fedora
    repository and made available online)
* Compiled specifically to take advantage of the hardware already
    built into the Raspberry Pi
* Graphical firstboot configuration (with additional modules
    specifically made for the Raspberry Pi)
* Compact initial image size (for fast downloads) and auto-resize
    (for maximum storage afterwards)
* Auto swap creation available to allow for larger memory usage
* C, Python, & Perl programming languages available & included
    in the SD card image
* IP address information can be read over the speakers and
    flashed with the LED light
* For graphical operation, Gedit text editor can be used with
    plugins (python console, file manager, syntax highlighting)
    to serve as a mini-graphical IDE
* For console operation, easy-to-use text editors are included
    (nled, nano, vi) plus Midnight Commander for file management
* Includes libraries capable of supporting external hardware
    such as motors and robotics (via GPIO, I2C, SPI)
 
* * *
 
For further documentation, downloads, faq's, read-me's,
    how-to's, tutorials, or videos:
