To be fair, I'd like to point out that F9-Beta is not ready for testing yet,
and therefore I won't spend/waste time trying it out, and not the weekly
snapshots either. Not only did I need several attempts to install it (e.g.
Anaconda crashes in GRUB device dialog), it still feels like a snail at
run-time compared with F8. This is a no-go. And while I would wrestle with
F9-Beta or Rawhide, the endless flood of F8 Updates would break F8 even further.
