Hey testers!

Just a quick heads up about a mirroring problem you may encounter while
testing.  The 'repo=fedora-16' is not yet acknowledged by MirrorManager.
As a result, any references to a mirror url such as
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-16&arch=x86_64
are not recognized.

Dgilmore informed me that additional changes were needed for
MirrorManager.  Those changes have been made, and should be visible
soon.  Until then, any yum requests that rely on the mirror URL shown
above will fail.  This also impacts TC1 installer testing as
demonstrated by the following bugs ...

Thanks,
James
