"Fedora Core 6 was released on October 24, 2006 and scheduled to come out a half-year later is the seventh major release for the Fedora Project. However, unlike Yarrow, Tettnang, Heidelberg, Stentz, Bordeaux, and Zod, Fedora 7 is shaping up to be the most ambitious release yet. With all the work and reform going into Fedora 7 it poses the question, will Fedora 7 be Linux's knight in shining armor?"

Not quite. While they do sometimes point you to legal ways of obtaining proprietary software, they go out of their way to avoid mentioning non-free (patent-encumbered in the US) repos such as livna.

That's stretching it a bit. The Fedora project didn't release 7.1 to the FC5 repositories (FC5 came with 7.0), but as far as I know, Fedora don't usually do upgrades to major software such as Xorg during releases. But yes: the fact that there were no nVidia or ATI drivers for 7.1 at the time did play a part, mainly since very few users would actually have any use for 7.1 without those drivers.
