I didn't mark the package as stable in Fedora 7 or 8 because we were pre 
1.0 and there were still a ton of bugs.

My dev environment is currently in Fedora 7. I think I'll be moving up 
to 9 once it is released.

There is one more bug that will be pushed out post Fedora 9 GA: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444624

Glad to hear you got it installed ok :-)
