But you could bet that it would not be fixed if it wasn't released in
its current state so people could fix it.   That's the point of the
fedora releases - it is supposed to meet the usability intentions
by the *end* of a release, when the effort shifts to a new batch
of code and the updates to this one stop.  Since there are 3 prior
releases you can get a pretty good idea how this works by looking
back at the updates that made the other versions usable.
