Fedora 13 UEFI Boot CD/DVD (none?)

Hi. I'm trying to test out UEFI boot and install with Fedora 13.

It looks like it is not supported...at least not in the standard x86-64 DVD image.
Running 'dumpet' on the .iso shows no EFI boot section (whereas, for example,
RHEL6 Beta-2 x86-64 DVD .iso does show one); see output below.

Will there [ever] be UEFI supported boot/install CD/DVD .isos for Fedora?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask since the developers rarely visit this formum. You may wish to communicate to the developers and ask them what is the current status:
