So, as I mentioned in another follow-up, we didn't really establish any 'ground rules' for when we're going to re-tag the builds into Rawhide. Aside from the questions other groups may have, from the QA side, I'd suggest we want at least: * two or three successful tests of the yum process with an existing Rawhide install * a successful test of a fresh install with the /usr move packages (assuming we're in a state where we can even do a fresh install *without* the /usr move stuff: we will know more on that front shortly) and ideally: * a successful test of a media-based upgrade from F16 before we go ahead and PULL SOME LEVERS. I have the /usr move feature on the agenda for the QA meeting on Monday morning, so we'll plan the testing out in more detail then. I guess we'll look at building a special install image for testing, if that's necessary. If you and/or kay could be at the meeting - 1600 UTC on Monday - that'd be a big help.
