Yes. Even the documentation says that the wifi doesn't work and the audio
doesn't work. It is obviously still a work in progress. I installed it
just
to prove I could, but if I want to use the Pi 3 for any real work, I'll
have to go back to F24 or use Raspbian. But I will be following the
development with interest, and I'll fire it up occasionally and apply
updates just to see the progress. (I really want to use the PI3 as a
MythTV
frontend, and I'd rather use Fedora because I am more familiar with it
than
Debian on which Raspbian is based).
The difference as I understand it is with F25, they are actually using a
standard kernel. The F24 version (and, I think, Raspbian as well) use a
third-party kernel outside of the standard package repos.

I was surprised to see very sparsely populated groups in yumex-dnf. While
LibreOffice appears to be complete, KVM virtualization is almost
non-existant.
I supposed I should be searching for any official announcements regarding
support for the ARM architecture in general and RP3 in particular. I
suppose there are some applications and/or capabilities that can't be
ported from Intel, at least not right away. It would be nice if Fedora
could publish package lists that work today, those that "sorta" work,
those that should work but don't right now, and finally, those that never
will.
