Not specifically the rc->final related, but the compose failed far too often during F8. It felt like a majority of the time the images/ dir never got populated. My install method of choice is PXE/kickstart, and I did a *lot* less test installs during F8 than I did in earlier releases due to this. The thing that really bites is that if the compose failed, that it was often left that way until the following day (where it may fail again). Perhaps the compose needs to be split up into multiple parts somehow so that the latter bits can be re-run by hand without having to wait for a full compose?
