With the plugin already beeing in Fedora Extras 6, the feature is already 
there. Also Nearly every new Extras package is also built for the supported 
releases and not only for devel, so there are always new features and 
functionality in stable releases. And when the plugin is tested in devel, 
then the delta rpms and mirror layout has to be generated, too. So the only 
differences are, whether the Fedora 6 / 7 or devel rpms are used for the 
generation of the delta rpms and an extra directory for the different 
releases.
