We dont want much work or special implementation requirements for all 
the mirrors. If you you could implement a additional separate interface 
that need not be mirrored by others. See fedora-extras list discussions 
recently. Andreas was interested in working on it there. Also talk to 
yum and repoview developers in yum-devel list or #fedora-devel. skvidal, 
icon and panu should be able to sort all of that.
