Will Cairo be packaged for FC3 ?

[Yusuf Goolamabbas]

Hi, Wanted to ask the following questions

a) Will there be a package of a cairo snapshot for FC3 ?
b) Will the Mozilla packaged in FC3 render through Pango or will it just
   be XFT based ?

Not as part of FC3. Generally, libraries will only be added to
the distribution if they are:

 A) Reasonably stable
 B) Used by some application we want to ship

Looks like I read this wrong ... I read "render through Cairo" ... 
our hope at this point is to have Mozilla rendering via 
Pango (and Pango then using Xft), but its still a bit up 
in the air.
