I used it once to get a baseline for a 64-bit kernel I needed - I ended up just downloading the sources rpm and rebuilding the kernel (since I had to do a kernel recompile anyway b/c of my hardware drivers). Worked pretty well for me. I believe though that Dave merges his changes peridiocally into some main tree from where you can download and install precompiled rpms using the regular yum update command. Not sure how often he does this though.
How it works is.. I throw the srpm at the build system, and RPMs pop out the other side. Once every so often (I think hourly, though I've forgotten what I set it to) a cronjob fires, which copies everything out of the build system to people.redhat.com
Normally, the following day, the highest version that is in the buildroot gets pushed out to rawhide. Closer to release, the automated 'if you build it, it goes to rawhide' thing gets turned off, and packages get pushed through manually (which hopefully explains why rawhide is 1-2 days behind what you see on my people.redhat.com page the last few weeks).

I too have used it before although not via yum. I stumbled upon his repository and decided to try out his latest kernel to see if it would solve what I thought was a software issue. Either way things compiled fine after I made a few changes to my config (for some reason disk dump support did not want to compile). Right not I'm using a the .29 FC3 kernel with a modified config. Works great with no issues. I think the repository is great for people who want to live dangerously. *grin*
