It worked between f18/f19 for Grizzly, do you see anything actually
getting different between f19/f20?
Not right now, but I wouldn't necessarily want to wait until we run into
unpredictable issue as they tend to cost a lot of people a lot of agony.
Just saying. Mostly working with EL6 myself, so I probably won't be that
person and therefore don't care too much. ;)

For f20 you can just use Rawhide repos for now and f20 repos, when it
branches.
For Grizzly, we had fedora-19 symlink at some point but removed it to
encourage usage for Rawhide instead.
Oh, I didn't notice they were built into Rawhide as well. My bad.
Encouraging works better when people know about it, though. Maybe put a
README in a fedora-20 folder or so? Just in case someone else is as stupid
as I was... :)

CCing Martin, Packstack maintainer to include those fixes in Rawhide
builds.
Packstack folks are informed already:
