> Currently the "stage2=" kernel parameter is not executable and supported
(Liam reported a bug regarding it), so it's not very useful to separate
install.img tests from install source. Therefore, my suggestion is to keep
the old install source tests (askmethod=), and modify the Additional repo
tests to make it use either repo= or manual repo adding method. [[BR]]

Good suggestion, I like this idea.
The only addition I'd offer is including a repository test in each install
usage scenario (boot.iso, pxe, cd, DVD, live). This test would confirm
that the default repository method works for each install usage scenario.
I've also added a network-based repository test to the CD and DVD usage
scenarios, since enabling the network on physical media installs is often
problematic.
I've updated [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft my draft to
provide an example]. I'm not sure I have the default repository correct
for the boot.iso (repo=http) and pxeboot (repo=mirrorlist) cases, but
hopefully it conveys the idea.
