Doesn't that work still need to eventually get done in any case? The fixes
will need to be done before the next release. Maybe there is some time
savings in not worrying about things until the next release and handling all
of the issues at once?

I wouldn't think the extra work would be all that much, anaconda doesn't have
all that many dependencies and they are typically things you guys don't
muck with a lot until the next release anyway.

I don't see updates.img as all that great of a solution. There is about
2GB of FC6 updates already (though this includes some cases of multiple
updates). Currently there probably are only a few people even trying to
do respins, but with the merging of core and extras I expect there to be
more people who want to do custom respins.
