You can read about the new features of Mandriva Linux 2008 in depth in the Release Tour. The release notes contain important information on changes from previous releases. The errata will contain information on any future known issues and solutions for them.

I wouldn't recommend it as a way of life, no. There are sufficient differences between Fedora and MDV that it would not be a smart idea. I meant it only in the case of these packages, which as I noted are rather distro-independent by nature (commercial software for Linux tends to be statically linked as far as possible).
