Jose,

Thanks for pointing these out - I'll try to look into them tonight.
With fc6 test3 out, I'm going to need to provide the release team with a
'good reason' for the updates.  I can look through the change logs, but
if you know of any specific bugs that these updates will fix, sending
them my way via bugzilla would help me out tremendously.
