I think one big reason to push it back to f8 would be the improved skip-broken 
handling for multiple arches.. specifically where one of the packages gets 
skipped but its match in the other architecture is not skipped.  People can run 
into some major problems updating with x64 systems that only have some of the 
matching i386 packages on them.
