Sounds very good :-)

s!fedora!free/fedora/ and you get a +1 from me ;-)

Exactly.

For F10 and later: Yes, definitely. But I don't think it's worth the 
trouble to fill the "release" repos for F8 and F9 (especially as the bug 
in anaconda makes enabling RPM Fusion during install not really a good 
idea); but we of course can do that if we want.

Yeah, it is. But note, some people also enabling the update repo during 
install. Hence those would need to enable the updates repo from RPM 
Fusion as well.
