Please voice your concerns so I can hear it. =)

In this particular case it is already the plan of fedora.us to remain in
sync with up2date Severn2 channel during this beta period.  I still have
to write the scripts to make this possible, but it should be done by the
end of the week.

fedora.us' 0.94 repository is open now.  Missing packages from Shrike
and Severn1 are being added every day.  You only get added functionality
by using fedora.us 0.94 repository with Severn2.
