Oh, yes, here's my B.M.T.F. (Beefy Miracle Tuning Fork) :)

* Re: OpenStack: Essex isn't released yet, and won't be until April. So 
I think it's hard to say that Essex is in Alpha, though we expect what's 
in F17 to be updated to the final version of essex before release time.  
I would honestly just say "OpenStack, CloudStack, Eucalyptus, and 
OpenNebula".
* New Xen API and oVirt aren't done being packaged yet.  FESCo has given 
them both a bit of a pass as they're "shiny marketing" things, and while 
I expect they'll both be done, I don't know that we want to tell people 
that they're there to try if they aren't.
* JBOSS should be JBoss
* Multitouch should probably land under end-user features
* Do we even support Jigdo anymore??
* One last comment: The "Release Overview" section says this: "The 
following sections provide a brief overview of major changes from the 
last release of Fedora."  The "What's New in F17" reads a bit more like 
Marketing stuff (not that I have any problems with that! :D) - but I do 
wonder about detailing any of the significant changes that are more 
under-the-hood.  Things like /usr move, firewalld, for example.

They go well in hand with the Release Announcement ;) (I'm not quite 
done with it, but it's got a huge excellent start.)
