Again, with every new release we go through a small amount of pain 
(operative word: small) with Fedora.  But then we also have a great deal 
of annoying bugs fixed and support for all new hardware.  So there is a 
tradeoff.  F7 really surprised us with its serious problems.  That 
release was not ready for public consumption.  Many, many problems.  A 
blizzard of bugs have been opened so I think Fedora will probably do a 
little more testing next time and pay more attention to installation, 
libata, xen ABI, and kernel issues.  It was probably a good lesson.  I'm 
sure that once people heard about the problems that there was a big drop 
in downloads compared to FC6.  We'll see what happens with F8 in Oct/Nov.

Well, FC{1,2,3,4,5,6} have all worked just fine on this hardware.  So 
once they fix libata I'm sure everything else will be fine.  libata 
seems to be the major problem.
