Just to be clear I was just giving my related experience and I'm not advocating that this use grub, that makes no difference to me whatsoever and I'm certainly not going to advocate treating this any differently than we treat anything else with respect to QA and testing. I'm reluctant to use this for F14 media and don't think that is necessary. The reason EMEA is without media for F14 isn't related to this effort and the normal media can be purchased when things get sorted out there.
