I just imported my 30,500 photos from f-spot and got a similar response
from my import.  My assumption was that the import results would be
logged to file somewhere so the issues could be researched/resolved.  I
think the true user requirement here is logging which files failed to
import.  I had over 400 of my photos reportedly not import correctly, so
I don't feel comfortable leaving f-spot until this is resolved.  (The
significant root cause, I suspect, are broken links resulting from my
use of f-spot's "UNSTABLE" ChangePath Tool to move my library to a NAS)

Here is my other quick feedback on my f-spot import and subsequent use of Shotwell:
(1) tag categories (people, events, places) are not retained or create-able within Shotwell
(2) tags are not assignable directly with a right mouse button -- without typing
(3) while the assignment of 5 stars to my f-spot Favorites worked 100%, many non-favorites were assigned 5 stars (I never used f-spots' star rating system)
(4) f-spot's Hidden category is not recognized or supported -- this is an important feature in my family's opinion.
(5) file name is not visible in basic information view; extended information view is a pop up (why?) that 

I hope Shotwell will continue to be improved and these feature
shortcomings addressed.  I suspect that I will wait until Ubuntu 11.04
comes out with an updated Shotwell -- hopefully sporting an improved
f-spot import function that handles this concerns.
