Well, no :-) If you don't believe me you can alway check #nouveau irc logs:

I presume that you have been misled by this sentence:

"What is the current state of things ?

Currently, nothing works. If you're not a developer, you're not 
interested in this at all."

from nouveau main page ;) It was only written to scare normal users. 
nouveau driver was based on nv one so 2D works fine. Code is being 
deobfuscated and EXA acceleration was added. Reverse engineering part is 
almost finished so 3D driver should be available in the near future :) 
Dual head support will be added after RandR 1.2 merging into X server.

Maybe driver is still rough but Fedora's 5th objective is:

"Be on the leading edge of open source technology, by adopting and 
helping develop new features and version upgrades."
