There is quite a long span between test1 and final, and judging by the
previous release we have to assume that there will be a lot of changes
made between test1 and final release.  For example FC3 test 1 didn't
have the Project Utopia stack, and that changed the whole OS when it
went in.  Xen, PUP and Fedora Extras are all in the early stages of
development, and will probably require making multiple alterations to
the documentation that the FDP supplies as they emerge.

Also, FC3 has another year of updates left (counting Fedora Legacy
support), so it will remain relevant for some time.

For these reasons I would prefer to build a final release against FC3,
and then fork development for an FC4 Installation Guide.  Karsten's
previous mail talked about splitting development between versions, and I
agree with his comments.

I don't know how technical review will be arranged - the @redhat.com
editors are best placed to say.
