I'd personally prefer using one of the 3rd-party repos like RPMforge, or a 
dedicated SA-only repo like what Kevin Fenzi set up a few years ago (current to 
3.4.1, BTW).  The benefit of these is that they are specifically matched to 
RHEL/CentOS release version and architecture.  Figuring out which version of 
Fedora corresponds to the correct RHEL/CentOS release may not be intuitive for 
everyone.

Having a dedicated SA repo would be particularly useful if SA would be willing 
to support older (EOL'd) OSs like RHEL/CentOS 5/6.

Could the rule updates server and/or SVN server also serve as a yum repo?  Then 
SA could provide up-to-date packages (including nightly builds) for all OSs 
where upstream remains fixed, like RH.

Cheers.
