Benefits are detailed on that page.  Or you saying the listed details
concerning the benefits of including the pre-release of the of 1.5 are
not detailed enough for you?

And even more importantly this has gone through the Features process
and has been reviewed...by FESCO..via a transparent and open review
process that requires status updates to be performed.  If there was a
significant problem with the proposed feature, there have been
multiple points in the release process where people could have raised
a red flag before the Feature Freeze deadline

For reference:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/FeatureList
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9/Schedule

We have an open and transparent Feature process, I see no evidence
that the process was misused for this particular feature.

The decision to change to pre-release was made in the FESCO april 10th
meeting as part of the Feature completeness agenda item.  Here is the
irc log for reference:
http://bpepple.fedorapeople.org/fesco/FESCo-2008-04-10.html

In the future for Fedora 10, I hope that you will watch the FESCO
meeting agenda posts to -devel-list, and will participate in the irc
meetings when the Feature process discussion is on the agenda so that
any concerns you have can be addressed as part of the discussion.
