No not yet, Eric has taken over the task of  doing 1.0.1
I had planned on including the 7.1 kdb patch in the SRPM but
not applying it by default. We could ask Eric to do the same.

I haven't even attempted to put kdb into the rawhide tree I'm working on.

My test box didn't come back up and foolish me took the serial cable
console cable before I left so I don't know what state it is in.
