Yes.  For those who haven't followed development discussions, 
etc. too closely, we've planned all along to keep FC3 updated 
with 6.8.x updates as they are all intended to be stable bugfix 
updates with no new features.

Having said that, people will now be wondering "when".  There is 
no specific date or time determined yet, however I am going to 
build rpms for FC3 and push them to "testing" first sometime 
soon, and after a week or two push them to "updates" if no major 
catastrophic problems (relative to my own viewpoint of course 
<grin>) are reported.  ;o)

People wanting to test 6.8.2 with official RHAT rpms, should add 
FC3 "testing" to their yum configuration, and just keep checking 
until it is available.  Should be really soon, but I wont provide 
any specific date because I don't want to be tied to any specific 
date.

;o)

Summary:  Yes, soon.


P.S.  I am not subscribed to fedora-list, so wont see anyone's 
replies.
