Should I make a tracking bug in fedora for problem reported upstream?

I have reported https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41862 for an
issue with 3.1 kernels crashing, typically on the order of hours after
booting. Based on some names in the traceback, I suspect this is MD raid
or luks related.

I reported this upstream, since that seems to be a better place to get
attention for development kernel bugs, than Fedora's tracker. However,
if this should be considered a beta blocker, then I should probably also
make a Fedora bug entry so that it can be tracked as a blocker.

However it doesn't seem to meet the explicit requirements for a beta blocker.
The only category it might fit in is a high severity bug. But if it really
limited to systems using MD raid or luks encryption, I am not sure if
it would meet that standard.

If it isn't a blocker, I'd rather not enter a duplicate bug in Fedora since
that would just seem to be a waste of resources. (But maybe QA would rather
see the bug entry anyway.)
