Official Fedora documentation is not supposed to endorse or have instructions for third-party software repositories. That's why, for example, the instructions to install Adobe Flash or MP3 support are on the wiki, and not in the User Guide. The justification here is simple: we can't support software we don't provide. You can't report a bug for the nvidia drivers on the Red Hat Bugzilla; they'll ask you to report it to RPM Fusion, who will probably ask you to report it to nvidia, who will probably say "too bad." We don't want to appear to support somebody else's software when we actually can't. In this instance, the software in Planet CCRMA at Home is also FOSS software, so I made myself an exception without asking anybody. The fact remains, this content should not be in the Guide, and as soon as I can remove it, I will. Now that we have Qtractor, there's no need for RPM Fusion. When we hopefully one day have a compelling alternative for all the Planet CCRMA software, there's no need for that documentation, and I'll take it out too. I might change my mind later (not for Fedora 18), but as long as Fedora doesn't offer a realtime kernel, the Musicians' Guide will retain instructions to use the kernel from CCRMA.
