For a more detailed list of issues that are considered Beta blockers,
check out
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Beta_Release_Criteria#Beta_Release_Requirements

Also, if you need a fix for that issue before F13 Beta is released,
there is an updates.img [1] available to work around [2] the problem.
