The core package (not plugins) are uploaded right now onto bleeding
for 4xFC, 2xRHEL and 2xRHL. The recent reorganisation of the plugin
sources requires some more attention from a packaging POV, so they
will be shipped later.

That should happen *before* a release, and that's why there are CVS
rpms shortly before releases. I only made them public to the
mythtv-dev list, as I'm not certain that Isaac wants to see this
testing done oouside of mythtv-dev (may be too much noise otherwise,
and he's busy enough before the release anyhow).

See above, this has already happened last week, but with a low
profile. If there is interest and the developers (well, mainly Isaac I
guess) agree, the CVS rpms could be made more visible before releases.
