One thing I kept reading in recent time on fedoraforum.org is how much of a disconnect people felt between the marketing message for F9 and the reality. "If they had just said it's a beta X.org and beta KDE, suck it up, it would have been easier. But they invited all these new users with slick shiny promises and let them down."
I'm going to try to address this head-on in the release documentation, with sections that highlight potential and known problems. I'm not sure what to do about the marketing message except to note that we don't want to undermine our success through over-hype.
