Yes, I agree with you. But what I am hoping is that enough people might
try out Red Carpet, like it, and then it will get included in Fedora
(either in Fedora Core, or Fedora Extras). Then the repositories could
use existing mirrors to create Open Carpet repositories. If Red Carpet
was part of FC, then we wouldn't be having to rely on when or if Ximian
decide to support the current release of FC, or whether we are stuck
using only a couple of Open Carpet servers that might get overloaded.

Best, Darren
