I experienced that when I did my upgrade too.

Agreed.

How about this little bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528188
All the developers do is keep asking for data. Its been given to them
several times. Nothing has been resolved. Thus I cannot use nouveau.
Or this one that they closed outright:

Well said, Eli.
Kevin, I really wish you would change your attitude towards the
proprietary drivers.
You repeatedly claimed that this bug was due to a problem in the
proprietary nvidia driver:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525767
However, that problem disappeared in F12 with no change in the driver
version. Hmmm....
