I'm successfully running rawhide on my laptop (centrino w intel video
chipset) with the aiglx/bling enabled in GConf - last week it was
causing noticeable slowdown, but it's working great today (I'm not sure
which update fixed the speed issues): nice subtle dropshadows on
everything, plus totally over the top explosions when you minimize a
window (I'm not kidding!).  I'm also in the process of trying it out on
this box (yum update to rawhide in progress as I write...)

So, yes, it's available in rawhide, the only thing I had to do was set
the GConf key /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager

YMWV - Your Mileage Will Vary though (bug reports would be great - I've
already filed a couple of bugs; "it works for me" reports are also
useful)

Hope this helps
