OK - I can buy that. Makes total sense and seems very practical.

Also sensible and provides hope for more in the future.

Well - a little good new here. After beating on Revisor most of the
afternoon today, I managed to get it to actually create a 64-bit DVD
Install ISO! I'm going to try it out on a virtual machine in a minute to
see how it does. Next up will be 64-bit live media.

In the meantime, I'm trying to find updated documentation. The Revisor
Wiki pages only show stuff through version 2.0.5 while F10 has 2.1 and
I've already read through all of that...

Cheers,

Chris
