I've been running F12 since RC without any major issues.  The one thing 
that came up publicly is that a default F12 install would allow all 
users to install signed packages through packagekit, but that has since 
been reversed through an update.  The only other issue I personnaly ran 
into was that they fixed a bug in ogg so that it would respect requested 
bitrates.  This fscked recordmydesktop's defaults, so now I have to 
specify to do any screencasts (not really a big deal).

There have been some issues with people upgrading when they initially 
installed from the F11 liveCD.  The default boot partition was 200M and 
it tries to stuff 223M worth of stuff in there.  I personally do fresh 
installs vice upgrading, but it may bite you if you aren't prepared.
