Tom,
	I appreciate your frustration, but FC has time based releases rather 
than WHEN ITS READY.  See http://fedora.redhat.com/about/objectives.html 
for details.  This seems to favor more rapid development -vs- more 
stability.  RHEL would seem to more closely allign with WHEN ITS READY 
releases.
