Fedora rawhide always tracks the latest upstream QEMU release, so when
0.13 is finally released, we'll pull it in. I'm not sure it'll make 
it for F14 though. FYI there is a Fedora Virtualization mailing list
which is probably a better place for QEMU / virt platform questions
virt at lists.fedoraproject.org

The other todo item is to figure out how to configure this from libvirt
so it can actually be used by Fedora virt management tools. The KVM 
forum presentation suggested the Sheepdog maintainers had this as a
todo item already.
