I haven't checked to see if other distributions are using the new
drivers yet. I suspect that most are not, but will be in the future.
The change does make upgrading interesting if you are not using
labels - you have to edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf before
you can boot the updated system. This is covered in the F7 release
notes.

I have 2 systems running F6, and one running F7. I also have a USB
hard drive that boots F7.
