Thankfully that problem is slowly going away (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Test_Cases). I'm always in favor of automation where possible, but I try to make sure we know what we automate before we dive into the shell. However, with the test case "library" expanding ... it isn't a bad idea to begin thinking as scripts/automation comes online, where/how will we store these tests. Depending on the test target, automation may already exist. So leveraging any off-the-shelf test automation is always a "good thing." Some of these questions will naturally tie into the beaker project as that matures, but there's no reason we can't discuss/debate these issues now. Thanks, James
