Yes, let me know something specific that is in need, however, I
understood the rel notes process is closed, dead done.
Put simply, out of 4 machines that I have tried to put a f7 test3/4 on
as an upgrade, only one machine has worked and that with test4. I
assumed that with bugzilla's filed and responding to dev requests that
the issues would be permanently solved (especially upgrade issues from
fc6>fc7).
I reckon it would be a pretty sad state of affairs to release f7 without
a nice working upgrade path from fc6, so that is why I made the
suggestion, and it wouldn't muddy anaconda with something that once done
perhaps wont be needed in the future. But I definitely don't understand
the issue enough to even get an upgrade to work on my other three
machines - I doubt less experienced users will be able to.
