No, I mean Gnome.
The 2.6 kernel is expected to be sable by the time FC2 is released. For
development (formerly rawhide) the 2.6.0 test kernels are being pushed
so hardware vendors can write drivers. But the timeline for kernel says
2.6.x should be stable by the time FC2 is release. As always, there's a
leap of faith involved on the part of the fedora team to hop onto that
train, but acording to the various roadmaps for gnome and kernel,
kernel will be done first. Gnome 2.6 will probably be in FC3.
