I can understand Nuonce removing their repository for yum, but why go and do something that seems to be just stupid.

I see Solarspeed.net still has the .pkg available for download for the yum-gui but I suspect if it were to be installed a yum update would promptly remove it again.

Ok well, I have just tested it on my server. and if you install the .pkg from SolarSpeed.net it seems to stay there. I guess time will tell for how long.
