Correct.  If you're building for Fedora 8, you'll want to ensure that
your configs include something like commit
11dbd0bb5ba4b845e80109e990e4e780ca402218 so that they'll continue to
boot

Persistence and there will likely continue to be things.  Basically once
a release is out, I'm not doing much if any feature bits.  I did
backport some bugfixes for both Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 recently just
because there had been some explicit requests in bugzilla
