Congrats, but by now does anyone really care?

Fedora used to be new kernels all the time, but my F17 box isn't "First" on anything major anymore and Fedora18 certainly isn't either.

Fedora 18 released

The reason F17 doesn't have a 3.7 kernel just yet is that we don't want f17 to have a later kernel than what is available in f18 at release. f18 development was close to freeze when 3.7 was released so we didn't want to release with a 3.7 kernel on media. 3.7.2 is available as a zero day update to f18 and I believe it will be coming to f17 soon. And rawhide is on 3.8 kernels now.

Does anyone care? That wasn't nice. I'm going to have to tell your mother.

OK, one person cares. (The two jokers above don't count)

Not bad for a release that only gets bad reviews and which installer is outright dangerous.
