We've ran into some kernel difficulties on PPC, some VNC issues, and more fun with figuring out what to spin and how. As such we were not able to have a tree ready on Friday for the mirrors to sync. We cannot release Tomorrow. We expect to have a final tree done (late?) today to give to the mirrors for a Thursday (March 1st) release.
Do these issues include the "does not boot due to VFS kernel panic" problem seen in the last two (three) 2.6.20 releases?

Replying to myself..
The issue is the 'switchroot' problem that began with rawhide update 20070215 and the introduction of kernel-2.6.20-1.2930.fc7.
I think the problem I'm talking about is : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220470
Is it just me or is the 2.6.20 kernel about as bad as we've had so far.. Doesn't boot on SCSI (reports of SATA too) and IRQ migration completely (hard) locks SMP boxes ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227972 ).

I do not know if these issues are resolved. The Xen kernel hasn't been changed from Test1 I do believe.
