 Huh?

 Looks to me like 0.90.1 should be in F7.

 While I may or may not agree with Enrico's positions on workarounds 
(which I readily admit I haven't looked at), I do respect his decision to 
hold off 0.90.1 until F7.  Major bumps (especially ones that have serious 
potential to break installs) generally shouldn't happen within a release.
