Any plans to upgrade radeonhd to 1.2.5 (DRI enabled) for Fedora 11?

Thats the exact reason I don't like shipping two drivers for one piece
of hardware, and would prefer Fedora users don't use radeonhd. If you
have filed a bug against radeon then feel free to use radeonhd since its
then my fault :-), but if you don't file a bug and switch, you just
leave yourself screwed when we move to kms everywhere since the kernel
code is based on radeon not radeonhd.
