I'm moving the i386 RC 2.1 up there right now. I'm currently testing the x86_64 RC 1.5 to make sure I didn't do anything stupid. (And good thing I checked too ... I had changed the desktop tweak rpm, messed up the permissions of startkde, and essentially turned off KDE. It's fixed now ... but just always need to do a sanity check.) I'll get the x86_64 up there soon ... but I'm working on one more change, putting in fastmirror stuff in the yum-conf (not as default, but as an option). So, there might be two updates today.
