In time, it will. Right now isn't the time however, as there
are a number of things in 2.6.10 that weren't fixed.
A 2.6.10-ac update for FC3 is feasable though.

I think I've finally nailed the 'machine oopses on logout'
problem with the FC3 update kernels today. I'm trying to
get that built right now. If that works out, it'll be the
final 2.6.9 kernel for FC3, and I'll get a 2.6.10 update
into testing shortly afterwards.
