I'm not saying everything is a blocker--only the inability to install 
the DVD.  Heck, you can't even boot a desktop spin that has been 
installed due to grub2 errors and since there is a good workaround for 
that it isn't a blocker.  There is no workaround for the two bugs I 
listed even if you take the defaults of only /, swap and /boot.

Please, all this said, I am fine with waiting for final for an 
installable DVD since (so far) the desktop spin is installable.  I just 
have to express an opinion based on a lifetime of software development 
management.  It is my contribution to the open software movement.
