It's not so much that I'm after bleeding edge features. I maintain the kickstart trees for all the redhat versions, and I'm doing testing and development on plenty of other assorted 'stuff'. I could get myself a head start on getting things like these to work with 8.0 if I even just had the beta, which, if nothing else, could give me an early heads up to things like, say, the installkernel issue that came up in 7.2, changes in the passwd/shadow/groups files, changes to anaconda, etc. I'm developing with Python, php, and bits and pieces of other stuff as well. Seeing the versions of packages in a full install of the beta will allow me to prepare for the final version a little better. I have enough on my plate without answering 25 emails a day asking when 8.0 will be available, or when our dept. servers will move to it, and why does it take so long, etc (they don't really get kickstart - and ours is fairly complex). So my need is really just to see what's coming up so I can plan and begin my various processes - not so I can say 'I'm hardcore'.
