Yeah, I flame you for doing it also in the FC3 tree and doing FC3
rebuilds only for this. That is plain silly. Fedora Extras FC3 is not
Development where users expect daily updates. If you did it with the
next real update, no objections. But to request immediate rebuilds, bah.
Everyone else, please treat FC3 more like a stable release and not a
playground.
