Thats the repo I've been using for about 60 days now.  Did redhat move 
it or something?

'sfunny, that was the yum.conf that was in the rpm. I just x'd the 
commenting # in front of it.  Since the announcement, download and 
install were all inside of say 3 hours, I find it quite odd that the 
repos in the rpms own yum.conf are invalid.  Tell me more please.
