Hmmm. kde-redhat is something special, so a dedicated repo for it makes 
a lot of sense afaics.

But do you need to have your own dedicated experimental repo. Might a 
general experimental repo be a better solution? Not sure myself, just 
want to hear options...

BTW: It's "RPM Fusion" (with space) ;-)

Yes. Otherwise merging kde-redhat afaics wouldn't make much sense

I'd say so. (As long term gnome user) I'm not familiar at all with 
kde-redhat, but I think that's what they also do now and then (like 
preparing kde 4.2 before it hit rawhide or 4.1 before it hit F9?)

I'd say so.

In general: I wouldn't want to many rules for those repos. But we need 
to be very careful. Having to many of those repos could be dangerous 
(for us), confusing (for the users) and time consuming (for infra and 
the people that take care of the infra). And we of course need to make 
sure that the main repo remains the repo that normally offers everything 
ordinary users want.
