Agreed.

Lennart's focus has turned back to finish couple of *awesome* features 
he had put a side for F14 bugfixes and he wont be looking at any 
bugfixes until he has finished that ( because he wants to make F15 even 
more awesome ) which probably will be around the time for him to start 
dealing with F15 bugs, so as Matthias points out it would only act as a 
distraction for him to be hammered with F14 bug reports ( which he would 
not fix right away anyway ) and make F15 less awesome as a result of that.

Not to worry thou we have a big thing ahead of us and that's to 
create/convert all Fedora SysVinit files to native SystemD files. ( 
Somewhere between 500 - 600 of those ) I am in the midst of writing the 
wikipage for that and collecting all the files to one accessible place 
so participants wont need to install all those packages just to take a 
look and work with their init file(s).

When I'm done with that I will document the procedure on how to do that 
and host a convert SysVinit files to native SystemD files day(s) for 
interested parties to participate in ( good way to learn a bit about 
systemd and stuff ).
