This patch should have a bit more explanation to it :)

Fedora 10 is officially released as of last week, and for the .96 release 
that is upcoming for oVirt we'll be moving to F10 as a base for the oVirt 
Node, Appliance and for building.  There are several things that are 
broken on F9 that will probably not be fixed, and there aren't compelling 
reasons to continue supporting F9 as a base for oVirt as we're rapidly 
moving forward on the bleeding edge of functionality.

The F9 repos on ovirt.org will be moved to an archive for historical 
purposes once .96 is released.
