so says the person who has not done it
- the rpm tool changed, adding a non-backward compatible
compression scheme. as I blogged about months ago; this has
'flow through' effects as to bootstrapping a new builder
- the anaconda changes, re-design as to install stages, sever
deprecation of TUI installs, unfixed graphics driver issues,
and install time anaconda 'seeks' across the wire to remote
network content introduced addotional complexity to an already
ever-changing and at best, spaghetti like pile of Python puke,
as I've already noted on this and the -devel mailing list
- the install image size explosion (as has been
mentioned here and on -devel) has complicated much, and
lengthened the time needed for each test image compose,
slowing the testing turn cycle
- the continuing (non-technical reason) segmentation of the
upstream product family continues to make ensuring closure,
and build self-hosting more laborious. I think I've mentioned
it here, but if not, it is so ...
