Its not the first and won't be the last software in Fedora that is not 
"complete". FWIW its perfectly playable. The crash on 4096 already has 
a pending patch.

When did Fedora become the place which only welcomes mature software?
IMHO what you seem to aspire to is somewhat in conflict with the 
release early, release often principle that is behind the  "First" 
Fedora slogan.

I completely disagree with the "might create poor first implression" 
sentiments as a basis for holding anything outside Fedora. After all 
the software is at a state that the original developer found 
acceptable to make public.
