The problem with this is the amount of work it would take before many of us would feel comfortable with them replacing the gold images. The code path used at install time is a bit fragile and replacing what was tested at GOLD time with a bunch of new packages (which at times won't work at all. It's quite literally yet another release to freeze for, spend a bunch of time QAing, fixing various bugs, etc... and when we're doing (currently) a full release every 6 months with 3 test releases between each, there really just isn't any bandwidth left to add respins with updates into the mix, especially if we want a chance at all of doing any tools development. Don't get me wrong, I think respins are great, but I really really don't feel comfortable offering them up as anything other than 'use at your own risk' and certainly not to replace the GOLD spins where yeah, there might be bugs, but at least they're known and usually have suitable workarounds. There are also legal concerns with doing more releases like this that I don't even want to get into right now. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
