Then the backup plan is to isolate as much as we can, minimize the deltas 
as much as possible, roll our own based on (F-11 plus patches), and 
continue work to push things upstream in the F-12 timeframe.

Bug to be filed shortly.

Wireless works in GNOME but not Sugar as of latest build, abostrom is 
filing against Sugar.

Well, no wireless means no collaboration, right?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465284, I reprioritized this 
to "high" this morning, but realistically this probably won't be looked at 
until F-12.

A few folks working on testing this.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468744, also reprioritized to 
high since it's blocking several other bugs.

Unclear here.

Don't know much about these.

The only way forward is to identify issues, track them, and fix them 
upstream, with what resources we have available.  A lot of these fixes 
will get in during the F-11 timeframe, and a lot won't.
