Sorry to reply to myself, but Jesse Keating just dropped the following
late-breaking info in #fedora-docs:

14:20 < f13> stickster_work: hey, there are a couple hot items for the
release announcement of test3.  1) if your install method was DVD (maybe
even nfs iso) pirut may crash when you run it with a traceback about
HAL.  Dropping to the console and yum upgrading at least pirut should
fix this.                         
14:20 < f13> 2) knetworkmanager is not functional, but it is known to
not be functional and will be fixed/replaced before F8 final.

Jason, could you confirm that you'll have these in the draft
announcement tonight*?  You can post it on the wiki under, say:

 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F8Test3/ReleaseAnnouncement

Or an equally good or better place of your choosing. :-)  Thanks for
volunteering to do this.  

P.S.  We should *not* put these in the Release Notes at Docs/Beats since
they are hopefully ephemeral issues.

P.P.S. *I know I said Monday night originally, but it's going out
Thursday morning, so tonight would work.  Please leave us about 24 hours
to nitpick on it before it goes out, thanks!
