This is deliberate for a while after release... although we should switch now. The reason is: After staging content for release, all the releases/18 directories are closed to allow mirrors time to get content. If we changed the mirrormanager links then, people who had f18 installed before release would get permission denied trying to install anything from the base repo. The permissions are opened at release, but we wait a while to pick up mirrors that might not sync all the time. Since development/18 and releases/18 are hardlinked, it's not much space difference and doesn't really cause any problems, it just looks weird. ;) Anyhow, we will be switching this soon. kevin
