David:

I am very much hoping they fix it and well before May 5th. Getting it 
working for "update installations" is the robust stress test of the 
whole implementation.

Rawhide is too bleeding edge for me. But I am glad to be aware of this 
as I certainly will be checking for comments on or after May 5th when I 
consider whether I move to F17 or wait for F18. I skipped F15 for 
similar reasons ... I just didn't like what I was seeing posted as folks 
discovered what was there in the release version.
