What else uses glibc-2.12.90 out there apart form Fedora 14 and rawhide? Next to nothing. So, the change is being rolled out carefully. Only limited number of people will be exposed to it - the ones willing to run the latest Fedora.

I assume you mean glibc-2.12 or glibc-2.12.1. 2.12 has been in Arch Linux since May, 2.12.1 since August. This issue has not affected me because the new memcpy is still forward on Core 2.

No, I mean 2.12.90:
glibc-2.12.90-18.x86_64
glibc-2.12.90-18.i686
This is an unreleased version of glibc. Fedora does this from time to time - ship early cuts of new glibc (this will be 2.13 one day).
