So a 6 month wait at best?
For it to be in Fedora. But there will very likely be packages built for
F14 externally before then. (Plus once there is an F15 srpm, you will be
able to easily rebuild it yourself for F15.)
You need to remember that bleeding edge to a DBA means something different
than for other people.
