Notwithstanding our criticism of codeina the way it's currently implemented, we felt that making this change at a late point in the game (post-feature freeze) without a clear replacement roadmap was not the best decision, and that we'll revisit this immediately post-Fedora 9 to plan for a better solution in Fedora 10. At this point, codeina should be appearing in repositories again. -- Paul W.
