Not a handy list of bug reports but there are some ongoing discussions 
in fedora-test list which does not give me any confidence. The libata 
changes have rendered some (many?) systems unbootable and some people in 
the Fedora forum who have been trying out all the F7 test releases have 
yet to get their system to boot. I did ask them to report bugs but all 
of them might not be currently tracked in QA.

Recent kernels seems to have regressions - ethernet, sound cards not 
working etc. Of course this is the test list and it never paints a rosy 
picture but I think we should do a test release of the merged tree. 
Desktop team and KDE SIG have been waiting for the merge to do some 
fairly important changes. If we are you might consider a mass rebuild of 
packages with disttags too.

Someone closer to development and QA might have a better idea.
