FWIW, I've got some of our performance gear on fedora 20 right now and 
happily use the gitbuilder packages (though there are some annoying 
dependency issues that require different excludes during the yum 
installation).  It's incredibly convenient to be able to simply change 
the repo and grab the newest build from different versions the same way 
we do in Ubuntu.  Hopefully regardless of whatever other decisions are 
made, we can retain this kind of workflow with the gitbuilder releases.
