Personally, I don't think ext4 is quite ready yet and I really don't think Fedora should use that as the default file system.
I really liked Fedora 10's theme but this theme seems pretty boring. I was hoping they were going to go with the 'nautical' reference to Leonidas (the HMS Leonidas). The wallpaper in those screenshots is very, very generic-looking. Granted, themes and wallpapers can be changed but Fedora has done such a great job in the past of creating a unique and cool look that this one, so far, is a letdown.
Still, Fedora is pretty darn awesome and I look forward to checking out the beta.
