Thanks! 2.9 rc1 is in Rawhide (F16), so feel free to try building Mesa 
and report any problems. If they're LLVM bugs rather than packaging 
bugs, it helps to know ASAP, because unless upstream delays the final 
release, it'd be going final on April 3rd, and after which they never 
issue bugfix releases; we'd have to backport the fix, and it gets 
hairier the further the 2.10 development series gets away from 2.9.
