So if I enable the release repo instead of devel repo on the release

curious of this question since I have been using fedora 5 devel since
test 1 and have configured it a bit. Really don't want to re-install
everything.
You can download and install the fedora-release package for FC5 once FC5
is released. This package should add the information needed for FC5 and
enable the FC5 repositories. I find the split with Fedora Extras and
Fedora Core to make it worthwhile to maintain test releases to main
releases because of all the re-installation needed when the system is
pretty stable. However, due to messed up config files that might have
happened during the many program upgrades and occasional breakage,
installing FC5 on a clean approach is probably wisest. The possibility
that some packages may be downgraded also is a good reason to start fresh.
Since you get no support directly anyway, support is not a big issue
since test to actual release upgrades are not supported.
The release is actually a snapshot in the line of development but is
aimed at being fairly stable.
Thanks
