David,
Don't be scared too much there is major samba dev using fedora out there 
it didn't seems that they were blocked.

Please see this page related to fedora and samba4: 
https://admin.stg.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/samba4?_csrf_token=95ed238168dd6d219221bdf763631cdf32d119fb

And have a look there: 
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/samba4/4.0.0/ for the rpm.

Then once we cut an alpha12 in the tree go to your favorite 
fedora/centos/redhat contact and ask him (kindly) to update rpm packages.


Note: I find it a difficult to find packages for fedora related to 
samba4 but it might just that I didn't really know where to search as 
I'm another debian/ubuntu user.
