Yes.

It's from fedora-release, and was used for the normal updates repo, 
until the "key issue" came into being. xs-release will need to follow 
what ever fedora-release does, my guess is to rename/disable that repo 
file. I'm pretty sure fedora-release will change back to the prior 
layout post F9. Might want to check the layout of a F10 fedora-release.
