I'm very glad to see that Fedora provides such a list.  I just installed
it on my computer (after filtering out hostnames not ending with
fedoraproject.org, for obvious reasons).

Is it documented anywhere?  For full security, every packager should
install it rather than allowing ssh to add host keys on first use.
