Well, having spent most of this weekend with installing F16, I don't sense any change in quality.
It depends on where you're standing. If you follow the well-trodden path, of always doing a fresh install, not upgrading, and always taking the default filesystem layout, and only importing /home from the previous version, you'll be fine.
But dare to venture off the beaten path, and, it's getting ugly. And I'm not talking about anything weird. Even something as innocent as having everything on raid1, will result in an upgrade to F16 (or even installing it fresh, btw) ending up as an unbootable brick. Having listed that as a known issue, is not an answer. Anaconda, in recent releases, have become advanced enough so even generally non-sophisticated users, with only a minimum of technical know-how, can build mdraid arrays. But those users are going to be screwed if they dare to go with F16, and the steps for remediation are well beyond what I'd expect them to have.
It can be argued whether or not Fedora is losing mindshare, or not, but stuff like that is not helpful.
