'soon'. But not probably not in the next week or two.

read as: almost complete rewrite. It needs completely different userspace,
and is almost guaranteed to break existing configurations.
We're still trying to make it work in rawhide.

I'm not sure how this is going to play out in FC4 yet.
It may even come to the extreme of reverting chunks of it so that
the existing cardmgr style in FC4 continues to work.
