Upstream developers of smolt have all wandered off to other things, and
there's no one left on the Fedora Infrastructure team that knows all
the ins and outs of it and has desire to expand on it or revive it. 
One of our very good developers spent several days trying to get the
query above working without much luck. ;( 

The last release was 17 months ago. 

I'd suggest working with folks working on census if you have interest
in this area.
