That's good to know, thank you. I've yet to encounter that, but I'm going to add
logic to be not so surprised if the key is missing (with Fedora 18 and, when
it's ready, Fedora 19.)

FYI. I use the Fedora AMIs for everything AWS. I'm working on packaging the AMIs
for Node.js developers to use as a hosting platform, based on my experiences
