There is a scratch build of 2.6.34 for F13 that you might want to test:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2199579
For F12 things get trickier as there was a bump of the kernel interface
for Nouveau.
2.6.32 is a (relatively) long term support kernel. I wouldn't be surpised
to see F12 use that for the duration.
2.6.33 has about one more upstream update left in it, so I expect F13 to
move on to 2.6.34 before its EOL.
Testing the 2.6.34 kernel above on my Dell Latitude D630 with a
Nouveau card it doesn't even boot. I get a lot of ACPI errors that
keep scrolling, it looks like it will eventually boot but still
doesn't get anywhere after a good 5 minutes.
