So some will say use 108, but others will say that 108 doesn't support the SCM 
of their choice.  There are some projects, things that are written 
specifically for Fedora and Fedora based distributions (like RHEL) that may 
want to develop out in the public space, with the SCM of their choice.  
Sending those people to sourceforge is not a very good solution, as I 
wouldn't wish sourceforge on anybody's project.  I suppose if we want the 
Fedora project to foster software development, and become that 'open source 
lab' that I keep hearing about, we probably should try to provide some 
infrastructure for these projects.  However it is a pretty big undertaking to 
try and provide something complete, repo, mailing list, webspace, bug 
tracking system, etc..  in such a way that we can easily add and segregate 
projects.

Tough question :/
