Infrastructure repo

All the copies of mirrormanager can get nuked directly.  Dennis beat on me for throwing them in there rather than wait for them to propagate to epel-testing when I wanted them...

I was thinking more for the historical record if we needed it. 
Ie, someone needs to know what fas version we used at time X and what was in that package. If we have the srpm and timestamp we could examine it. In practice I doubt it would come up much, especially if those packages don't have any local patches, just newer versions...

Yeah. Keeping one old one around seems reasonable.
