This is exactly what we are planning to do :)
At the moment, we are still using the version from F14 for now, but we
are in motion to swap over soon. If we don't go down this path for
various reasons, we will make changes as we see fit and host it
ourselves, separate from our main repos so that other people can use
them as they see fit. For more information, see
