That would be a good bet.  :-)

Well, I won't promise, but putting updates from rawhide into RHN becomes
more interesting as we accumulate updates, and it *is* now on the agenda.
It wasn't something we were sure about ahead of time -- the main points
of the channel being there when we launched were to make sure that the
firstboot registration works, and to leave ourselves the option to use
it later for updates.  Expect channel population during this week.
(Modulo emergencies which by their very nature we won't be able to
comment on, blah blah blah.  :-)
