On behalf of the rpmfusion community, welcome to rpmfusion and sorry about
this.

Since installing skype is a bit of a pain, you could consider doing a package
which
will download and install it for the user,

You could use auto-downloader for the download. And then pkexec to do the
rpm -i of the rpm from skype.

This way people could still just do yum install skype ...

See the usbview package of an example of using pxexec, and see the vavoom
package for an example of using autodl.

You could then make this a package with the necessary extra requires (not sure
if the requires of the skype rpm are complete), and make it ExclusiveArch i686
and x86_64.

You should then also drop in a /etc/profile.d file with the following in there:

alias skype='PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype'

Otherwise audio won't work in F20+, the latter alone is worth doing a wrapper
package like this.
