It looks nice.

Yep, but the problem is that now is much more time consuming for
selecting packages than it was in FC4. It has more package group
selections and has no option of Minimal Install in graphical mode. Do
you plan to improve that Pirut interface? I don't know but it seems to
me that now it takes more time to resolve dependencies comparing to FC4.

What GNOME will be included in FC5, 2.12 or 2.14?

Is it going to be included in FC5? Now it looks like it is in early
stage of development.

That are very nice changes. I like f-spot and Beagle, and I didn't play
with tomboy.
