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:
