Is there any chance of you making any of these machine which do *not* run Fedora 13 available to the build bot? There are 5 machines which the buildbot uses which runs Fedora 13, but nothing for Fedora 11, 12 or 14. Well, the one that runs Fedora 13 is the one that has the worst problems

Is there any chance that Fedora 14 won't be supported? I have one FC11 machine, one FC12, and one FC13. FC12 has had no problem with recent Sage builds. FC11 has had minor problems. Even though sage is supported on Fedora 13, *my* fc13 machine (admittedly a rather underpowered one) promptly cease
