And you really shouldn't be using a Fedora release as a Major Development Platform. That's not what Fedora is designed and meant to be. That's a far better job for RHEL where you've got promised ABI/API stability, a very long lifespan, and a lot of effort to ensure things don't change with the updates. Fedora is a more free flowing tool for evaluating technology, where things can and do churn, change, and sometimes break.
[updates-testing] would be the perfect place to first release the X.Org 7.1 updates for FC5 and it might even get a few more people to help test things there. What exactly will happen to a user who has nvidia or ATI drivers installed on FC5? Will X.Org revert to the open source drivers or simply crash? Benjy
