There's a a couple of issues with this approach, but the majority of mails
I received were asking for it.

When Fedora 21 will come out, version 5.2.13 will not be available, so
users of Fedora/CentOS/RHEL environments will have mixed versions anyway.
For the same reason, when all supported Fedora releases will have 7.x there
will be no benefit for the repository in hosting 5.2.13, as it will simply
be outdated as 2.4.4 is now for EPEL 5 and will make it difficult to
communicate with newer versions.

I will proceed as follows:

- Delete Fedora 19 and 20 builds from the repository (the same version is
in the official updates repository).
- Create a new repository with version 7 for all supported
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL releases (currently building 7.0.1).
- Leave the old one with 5.2 until the CentOS/RHEL releases in there will
go EOL.
- When all releases will be EOL I will delete the repository.

Regards,
--Simone
