"we have" as in "just flipped the switch"?
No.
The kernels currently in the rawhide repo don't have this set
...
[root@fedora ~]# grep USB_UAS /boot/config-3.*
/boot/config-3.3.4-5.fc17.x86_64:# CONFIG_USB_UAS is not set
/boot/config-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64:# CONFIG_USB_UAS is not set
/boot/config-3.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc18.x86_64:# CONFIG_USB_UAS is not set
/boot/config-3.5.0-0.rc1.git0.1.fc18.x86_64.debug:# CONFIG_USB_UAS is
not set
That's because the rawhide kernel you have installed is a 'release'
kernel. The kernel before that (3.5.0-0.rc0.git12 or something) is a
debug kernel and will have UAS enabled. The next git snapshot of
3.5.0-rc1 will also have it enabled.
We build one non-debug kernel in rawhide per RC release. You just
happened to hit it.
