Yes, when we did 0.2.1 it was agreed that we just put prereq RPMS on the
website and our own RPMS using the SF file release system. 

The reasning for not putting out prereq RPMS through the SF release
system was that we made those a service to our users, so they where not
'official packages' of the prereq's, or something like that.
