Rather than pointing fingers at each other, we should probably work on adding
this particular situation in to the F-11 test plan. I'm sure the QA guys are
looking for some more work. :)

I understand what you're trying to do, but here's my mindset at this point for
F-10 anaconda:
- Does the issue prevent people from installing?
- If yes, make a patch, test the hell out it, have the team review it,
get it in.
- If no, it's too late for F-10.
Really, I just hate the last minute changes that we've done to anaconda in the
past. There's almost always something that slips in at the last minute and a
new failure shows up and we're playing the holy-crap-fix-it game at the very
end of the release cycle. I just want to avoid that entirely by sticking with
the blocker/non-blocker concept, so I just consider this one non-blocker.
Installs still proceed.
