It was true that were was an ACL split, but there was also a CVS tree split and the Fedora "Core" was maintained within the Red Hat Dist-CVS (though nobody called it that back then!) and synced out to the public CVS tree for Fedora Core. The transition to the merged CVS tree involved a lot of complicated work from a lot of different people, and ultimately enabled discontinuing the weird setup for Core with Fedora 7 and transitioning to the Koji build system and Bodhi update system, which we still use today. The transition to Dist-Git in 2009 would have been ridiculously more difficult if that hadn't happened already.
