I guess that Fedora's 2.6.27 kernel has everything the most important stuff from 2.6.28 already [1]. Hopefully Fedora 10 is eventually updated to version 2.6.29 [2].
[1] Dave Jones:
"I was asked recently what bits we’re excited about in .28 for Fedora. To be honest, I didn’t give a great answer. It’s just not a “OMG, THIS RELEASE IS AWESOME” kind of release. There’s nothing in there that I was disappointed not to get into .27 for F10’s release. In fact, lots of the bits in there we were already carrying in the Fedora kernel (the DRM bits for example)."
