Why would it need to be a yum repository?  Why not something like a -pending 
repository that functions similarly to -updates or -security, available to 
apt-get, enabled only by those of us willing to tolerate and help fix issues 
like this one, or by those affected by a bug whose fix is available in that 
repository and want the new package as quickly as possible?
