I would like to move on towards an F17 system. I'm stuck, however with an 3.2.7 kernel because of bugzilla 795141. (The test kernel that was provided in the bugzilla works for me, but so far the fix doesn't seem to have been included in any released kernel package.) And the standard F17 kernel is 3.3.0.
Most things won't actually depend on the newer kernel in F17, but from experience I've learned that the selinux-policy is one of the more sensitive parts. Are you aware of any reason it will fail with the slightly older kernel? Or is there a chance it might work? At least reasonably well?
I'm of course not asking for any kind of official support. Whatever that would mean for an alpha of Fedora. :-) But before I do the attempt I wanted to check if you saw any obvious reasons things would crash completely if I tried the combination.

I suspect that things might work but do not shoot me if i am wrong

I wasn't asking for any promises! :-) I was asking for an informed guess. And you gave me one, for which I say thank you!
Bruno Wolff III:
Most likely it will work just fine.
Thank you for your assessment too, and additinal comments!
I'll give it a try, and hope it won't break things too badly. :-)

We're in a freeze now so the kernel in the stable repo won't change. Hopefully we'll be out of freeze Wednesday night, but it could be another week.
The 3.3.1 kernel is available from koji.

Most likely it will work just fine. Video drivers are more likely to be an issue than selinux. But I not aware of anything in particular that would be a problem right now.
