F22 releases redirecting to development

Dear rpmfusion-users,

I've noticed that the RPMFusion releases for Fedora 22 don't appear where they used to in previous releases.

Are the following observations worth worrying about?  If yes, then is there a preferred avenue by which to report the issue(s)?

(1) Fedora 22 release does not exist at http://download1.rpmfusion.org .

The official rpmfusion-free-release-22.noarch.rpm contains several "rpmfusion-*.repo" files with *commented-out* "baseurl=" directives pointing beneath http://download1.rpmfusion.org/ .

If you uncomment these baseurls , you'll find that their paths on http://download1.rpmfusion.org do not exist:

$ wget --no-verbose http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/22/:
2015-06-11 15:33:31 ERROR 404: Not Found.

$ wget --no-verbose http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/22/
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/releases/22/:
2015-06-11 15:31:07 ERROR 404: Not Found.

If you replace "/releases/" with "/development/" , then you can still find the content:

$ wget --quiet -O/dev/null http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/22/ && echo $?
0

$ wget --quiet -O/dev/null http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/development/22/ && echo $?
0

(2) Fedora 22 mirrorlists point to "development" paths.

To the best of my knowledge, RPMFusion considers Fedora 22 "in production".  That is, RPMFusion repositories for F22 are no longer relegated to "development" status.

Yet when I check the mirrors in the F22 RPMFusion "mirrorlist" rotation, I see that all of them contain URLs of the form ".../fedora/development/22/..." .  (I was expecting to find ".../fedora/releases/22/..." .)

It seems like a mistake to keep using these ".../development/..." URLs even after F22 has reached general availability.  Is this intentional?

$ wget --quiet -O- "http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-fedora-22&arch=x86_64" | grep ^http | head -n1
http://mirror.redsox.cc/pub/rpmfusion/free/fedora/development/22/x86_64/os/

$ wget --quiet -O- "http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=nonfree-fedora-22&arch=x86_64" | grep ^http | head -n1
http://mirror.redsox.cc/pub/rpmfusion/nonfree/fedora/development/22/x86_64/os/
