I don't want to speak out of turn since I'm not the Xfce package
maintainer for Fedora (yet ;) ... ) but I do contribute to the Fedora
Xfce Spin and I think its potentially a little early to identify show
blockers in our space as the general state of Rawhide is still a bit of a
"fluid concept" but we do have a Test Day scheduled for 2011-02-17[0] and 
hope to obtain more testing feedback from that venue. I imagine any influx 
of bugs will happen at that time. Many thanks for bringing up this topic!
