It's kind of hard to do for a new major release,
since the apps and kernel might not be ported yet,
but 4.0.0's been out long enough that gentoo
or FC4 probably have a good chance of building.
If you have the bandwidth to spare, I'd say go for it!
(But do a baseline for 4.0.0 first, and just report
regressions, of course.)
