Actually, there seems very little difference to me.
For example, it mentions KDE-3.5.3 as one of the new things in FC6t1
but I seem to have that on FC5 from fedora-extras.

Agreed, but I think I was responding to articles about the test version
on this newsgroup/mailing list.

Actually, I would try these test versions if it were not for the warning
that it may not be possible to upgrade to FC6 from them.
I wonder if this warning is really necessary?
I have had no problem upgrading from test versions in the past.
I mention this because I feel many more people would run the test versions
if it were not for this disclaimer.
