Fedora kernels support all the major filesystems through modules. If the initrd.img loads the modules for your filesystem it will boot Fedora fine. This is true at install time as well. I have more than one Fedora system using XFS. I can RPM a stock Fedora kernel and reboot without problems.

It is true that only Ext3 (and Ext2) is available for new installs though. This is something I do not like about RHEL/Fedora. I believe there is a conflict between SELinux and the other journaled filesystems but that might be changing.

As for repositories...there seems to be a move to try and unify the major RPM providers.
