While one version is better, we continue to end up being a little
hosed by squashfs changes here so I probably wouldn't end up being too
concerned by it :/  Checking kernel versions is kind of crummy as an
answer given the propensity towards things like patching kernels, etc.

The biggest question as far as whether or not it's feasible for F13 in
my mind really is whether or not the code gets accepted upstream.  The
progress of squashfs patches into the kernel has historically not been
very fast there.
