I am testing Rawhide with 4.8 right now. Looks great I thought it a
little strange that it asks whether you want to use an empty panel or
the default panel set up. Not that big a deal though. Looks good
I think a lot of users will appreciate the simple menu editing use
alacarte I have been wondering for so long when this would be
implemented. I have run into issues with Anaconda in rawhide though, I
don't think its particularly 4.8's fault but I will submit the bug
report asap.
