Re: fmt:link for a distroseries.

Do you know if there's a reason that there's no fmt:link for a
distroseries? I don't mind adding it, just wondering beforehand.
I ran into this as well recently for translation groups, and found it 
really easy to add a formatter.
Maybe we're too hesitant about adding them just because so few of us 
ever get to do it.  Unless there's a clear reason not to, IMHO reviewers 
should prefer "please add a formatter" over "better use fmt:url for now."
Plus, it's not all that hard to break a page when fmt:link works on some 
objects you may link to but not on others.  By Sod's Law all your test 
cases are probably in the former category.
