Yeah, I don't think that should be really tricky for anyone. I'd suggest we just run it as a post-release nightly compose rather than a candidate and don't give it any kind of label. I don't think it should be hard for releng to run that, and I should be able to run openQA tests and even create a validation event if necessary, I might need to metaphorically whang a few things with a hammer because it won't quite fit the normal flows but it shouldn't be a big deal. Also, I forgot to mention it'll obviously be completely impossible for this to work without Lenovo shipping me some hardware for, uh...testing. Yup. That's definitely non-negotiable.
