Yes, we are. Paul forwarded the bug to fbl and asked us for our opinion.
We've discussed some. Speaking for myself a few others on the board (not
for the board as a whole) I think the suggestion that makes most sense
is stay where we are for fc6. It's too late in the cycle and the change
to 4.4.6 is too disruptive for right now.

Then in the next couple of months we make a decision on how we want to
progress fedora package mgmt and put that in place for fc7.
