At the emergency blocker review today, we (present - me, tflink, robatino, bcl, rbergeron, nirik) re-discussed this and came to a consensus that it should be a final criterion, not a Beta one. See the discussion here: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2012-04-03/fedora-meeting.2012-04-03-23.08.log.html starting at 23:18:35 . Basically when it turned out both of these were broken in Beta RC2, no-one really thought it was serious enough to block the Beta release. In practice, we almost always use http/ftp for updates.img retrieval when we're actually doing Alpha/Beta testing. We think it's worth making sure this works for final in the case when you need to deploy updates.img on non-network-connected machines, but it really doesn't seem critical for a Beta. So we agreed to move the criterion to Final, and reject the two bugs as Beta blockers. I'll update the criteria and the validation matrix template.
