To your original question, no. Getting any software from koji, rawhide, or even 
updates-testing involves a certain risk factor. I am not saying "don't do it," 
just that you asked if it was safe, and the answer is no, or at least "not really."

Kernel 2.6.30 has a LOT of new stuff in it, unless you have a need for something 
new or want to start being a tester, you might wait on this one, or try it in a 
VM first. VM is addictive, I have f{9,10,11,rawhide} VMs, all four major BSD 
flavors, and Solaris. Oh, and a Win7 beta with about 20 minutes uptime on it.
