I experienced that when I did my upgrade too.

Agreed.

How about this little bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528188

All the developers do is keep asking for data.  Its been given to them
several times.  Nothing has been resolved.  Thus I cannot use nouveau.

Or this one that they closed outright:

Well said, Eli.

Kevin, I really wish you would change your attitude towards the
proprietary drivers.

You repeatedly claimed that this bug was due to a problem in the
proprietary nvidia driver:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525767

However, that problem disappeared in F12 with no change in the driver
version.  Hmmm....
