I guess because the list set up for this type of discussion is
fedora-test-list.  While things are quiet (before test releases are
made) people on this list will often answer these questions, but when
the lists are hot (like now) it's preferred that these questions go to
the appropriate list.  Before FC4-t1, both lists were getting minimal
traffic.  Since the release, fedora-test-list is getting about 90 or 100
messages a day and the fedora-devel is getting about 50.

If you look at http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
you notice in big capital letters: THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT LIST. THIS LIST
IS FOR CORE DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSION ONLY.

I guess it's a fine line of distinction, but your question really is a
'support' question.  fedora-devel is more about where development is
going, not what's not working.
