It would be near trivial to create a rewrite rule for this that works
for everything we provide and forever (i.e. for both Fedora and EPEL and
any version number).

Something like :

http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/fedora/9/x86_64 -> the right free list

Easy to type, easy to remember, easy to copy/paste "manually" from a
screen to a keyboard ;-)

Previously, the "updates" repo has been mentioned, but for installs,
don't we want to be providing the "os" one instead? As if packages in
the updates have been build against Fedora updates with higher library
versions, deps will fail (I thought that was the whole point to start
with the "os" repo then switch to the "updates" from there).
