GNOME 2.7.x has started appearing in rawhide/the development tree on
the
ftp servers. You're probably better off testing what is to become the
official packages I guess, so start beta testing now? :)
With the 2.7.x series, rawhide has only been a few days behind Matt's
repository. I know in the past, Matt has hacked in some things like some
of the Ximian patches, but I don't know if he's still doing that. And
other than the default panel and theme settings, I don't think Fedora's
packages are tweaked that much, though I could be wrong.
