We certainly have the bandwidth to host this, so please get in touch
privately and we'll take care of it.

That said, if I can convince you to look into redoing this kind of image
based on FC6 or FC7, we'd all be better off. I say this as someone who
doesn't use Fedora and doesn't want to use Fedora, but given that that's
what we're using for our builds, I think it simplifies things massively
for everyone involved if our blessed "dev environment" uses the same
distribution.
