At the moment, there is a Final Criterion that states "If there is an

nothing that
ensures that the built-in mediacheck should work, even if it appears
on the boot
menu (which it now does in F18). In fact, at the moment it doesn't - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848764 .

So I'd suggest adding something like requiring that if there is an embedded
checksum, then the built-in mediacheck (corresponding to the
rd.live.check boot
option) should work. Perhaps the embedded checksum should also be required,
since all the Install and Live images currently have them. Thoughts?

I think this is a good idea, yeah. Wording the criterion could be a little tricky, though - it feels like one of those areas where you have to be careful and precise about how you encapsulate 'works'. How important are false negatives? False positives? Etc. Please do post a draft, though!
