Yes. :) 
However, they have not been marked 'dead.package'. 
So, either the maintainer who orphaned them didn't do that, or the
expectation was that someone would pick them up soon.

if it's a snapshot, why does it have a URL?
It currently is: 
Source0:
http://download.aircrack-ng.org/aircrack-ng-%{version}-%{alphatag}.tar.gz

But it should just be: 
Source0: aircrack-ng-%{version}-%{alphatag}.tar.gz

And have a commented section above describing how it was generated.
