Hi Chris
May I offer my opinion as an end-user and the guy who raised the bug? Here it is, even if you say no.
Other distributions (example Suse13.2 and Mint 17) which I explored, handled situations by updating the web based release notes. I will verify that their pdf version of release note follows the web updates.
Anaconda is not buggy, and as I see it, the right place to add the informational message is to update the release note, which in my view is a working document. There are another 12 months of Fedora21 to support. Release notes should not be cast in stone, unmutable by release, they are a guide to the person wanting to install Fedora.
I would put a dated paragraph into the release note to explain what might cause the execution delay. I don't expect to see the Release note for F22, when it is produced being a copy and paste of the F21 note, with a few revisions. The note is what I would expect to experience as a Fedora installer.
Do the release notes have to be translated and released simultaneously? I would put a comment into the translated notes that the most recent notes updates are within the English version.
Regards
Leslie

I like to get the expected behavior up front, then explain the
ramifications. Maybe it helps people who are just skimming retain the
info. ie:
"To make sure any extN filesystems that might be reused or resized are
healthy, the Fedora installer automatically performs a check on
filesystems it discovers. If this check takes a long time, perhaps because
of large, slow, or damaged filesystems, the installer may..."The expected behavior is fsck should run only on volumes that are explicitly set to be resized. Instead, all ext volumes are fsck'd pretty much right away.Or, are you asking for it to be included in the RNs?
No just http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs I think is OK?
