Sooooo, I'm raising it here. :) So we kicked this around in the internal team meeting today, and we have a thought and a question: 1. We're not too keen on just using the respins as-is. They're really pretty unofficial: they're not built by infra, and they're not built the same way we build 'official' images. That's fine for something we just kinda let sit there and say "hey use it if you want to", but it's not really appropriate for something a Large Computer Vendor would be deploying on thousands of boxes sold to the public. It seems better to be deploying actually-official Fedora bits on those. 2. What's the expected cadence, here? Are they wanting a respin every week or maybe one per cycle? Because that seems likely to affect what we do. If it's just a once-per-cycle thing, we could maybe just have releng manually fire a post-release compose with a live image profile in it, and I can manually schedule openQA tests for that compose.
